Bevacizumab in the Treatment of HHT

Clinical Study Abstract (Ethics Application) Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare autosomal dominant vascular disorder characterized by recurrent intractable epistaxis and multi-organ arteriovenous malformations. Moderate-to-severe patients often develop refractory anemia with severely impaired quality of life. Current stepwise therapeutic strategies have substantial limitations, including frequent adverse reactions of thalidomide, high recurrence rates after electrocoagulation, and severe surgical trauma, resulting in a lack of safe and individualized treatment options. Our preliminary clinical practice has verified the promising efficacy and long-term benefits of bevacizumab in severe HHT-related epistaxis. However, obvious interindividual variability and occasional adverse events exist, and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to systematically ev
