Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to see how well study device works at treating people with Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE). The device has already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is a part of standard of care. You have been invited to join this research study because you require diagnostic or therapeutic evaluation of the Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia by RFA.

This is a single -site study being performed at the University of Texas Health Science Center. The study will enroll a total 1000 patients with GAVE. This study is purely observational and will collect clinical information regarding your GAVE
