Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to collect information about how the PHIL® Embolic System works in the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas. Data collected in this study will be used to evaluate the safety and probable benefits in treating DAVFs.

The PHIL® Embolic System is a Humanitarian Use Device (HUD). The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of the PHIL Embolic System as a HUD in June 2016.

Detailed Description

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

Study design:The study is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, clinical study evaluating outcomes in pediatric subjects with intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas treated with PHIL® device.

Study purpose: To evaluate the safety and probable benefit of MicroVention, Inc. PHIL® Liquid Embolic material in the treatment of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas, alone or as an adjunctive treatment for dAVFs.
