NCT06077747 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 4

Last updated 2025-11-18

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and feasibility of coiling the lumbar vein for the treatment of chronic headaches in patients with Nutcracker physiology and retrograde lumbar vein flow with epidural venous plexus congestion. All patients are extensively evaluated by a headache trained Neurologist confirming high pressure headache refractory to other treatments.

Conditions

  • Chronic Headache
  • Nutcracker Phenomenon, Renal
  • Nutcracker Syndrome, Renal

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Coil Embolization of the Lumbar Vein

Catheter based venography will first confirm Nutcracker physiology with retrograde lumbar vein flow and epidural venous plexus congestion. The lumbar vein will then be coil embolized.
