Real-World data on HydroPearl embolization through the wrist
NCT ID NCT04272216
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed registry study collected real-world data on 99 patients receiving HydroPearl microspheres to block blood flow to conditions like uterine fibroids, arteriovenous malformations, hypervascular tumors, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. The procedure was done through the radial artery in the wrist instead of the groin. The goal was to measure how often the procedure succeeded and how often complications occurred.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HydroPearl microspheres
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could confirm that radial access embolization with HydroPearl is safe and effective in routine practice, supporting its wider use.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient selection or other factors.
