Prospective Evaluation Of Outcomes For Patients Undergoing Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) Using HALO Ultra Device For Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE)

Description

The purpose: To determine the safety and efficacy of Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) HALO Ultra system in patients with Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia patient cohort (GAVE). Research design: This is a prospective observational study. Procedure Used: Radiofrequency Ablation Risks and potential benefits: There are no risks associated with this study as it is a retrospective chart review. Potential benefits include the knowledge gained from this study which may be of help to patients in the future. Importance of knowledge that may reasonably be expected to result The knowledge gained from this study may be of help to other patients in the future.
