Recruiting NA Pulsatile Tinnitus

New treatment option for Pulsatile Tinnitus

Official title Dural Sinus Stenting of Low Grade Dural Arteriovenous Fistulae (DAVF) for Pulsatile Tinnitus Treatment

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05679271

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The goal of this randomized trial to assess the angiographic efficacy of venous stenting in dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) via improvment on Cognard's Classification as compared to no intervention at 6 months Participants belonging to experimental group will be treated using venous stenting. DAVF will be assessed by angiography at 6 months follow-up.

Who can take part

Ages 18 and older

You may be able to join if

  • Patient presenting invalidating pulsatile tinnitus
  • Patient presenting with PT anatomically correlated with a DAVF
  • Type I or IIa DAVF on digital subtraction angiography (DSA), according to Cognard's classification.
  • DAVF located on sigmoid , lateral or posterior longitudinal sinus.
  • Fistula length compatible with use of up to two stents

You likely can't join if

  • DAVF classification of IIb or more according to Cognard's classification.
  • DAVF with severe sinus stenosis or occlusion judged as nor eligible for sinus stenting.

  • Patient with DAVF previously treated with surgery or radiotherapy.
  • Patient with multiple DAVF
