Patients excluded from the RCTs are followed in parallel treatment and observation registries, allowing a comparison between RCT and registry patients.
Methods: The first randomized clinical trial (RCT-1) offers 1:1 randomized allocation of intervention versus conservative management for patients with arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
