Lumbar Vein Embolization for Chronic Headaches With Nutcracker Physiology

Conditions

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

Eligibility Criteria

Sex

ALL

Age

18 Years - N/A

Healthy Volunteers

Not accepted

Interventions

• Coil Embolization of the Lumbar Vein — PROCEDURE
  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.

Study Details

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.
