Practice on a 3D model before treating a brain aneurysm
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether practicing on a 3D-printed model of your aneurysm helps doctors plan and perform the procedure to place a stent or coils. It may lead to safer and more effective treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an unruptured brain aneurysm (a bulge in a blood vessel) that is between 4 and 20 millimeters wide.
- You have had a special brain scan (3DRA) within the last 6 months, or you will have one before the procedure.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant in the next year.
- You do not have kidney failure, severe allergies to contrast dye, or a pacemaker or other reason you cannot have an MRI.
- You have not had previous treatment for this aneurysm (like coils, stents, or surgery).

This study tests Sim&Size, a software that helps doctors plan how to place implants to treat unruptured brain aneurysms. The trial looks at whether using this software improves outcomes and reduces costs.
This study tests whether showing you a life-size 3D model of your brain aneurysm before your embolization procedure (a treatment to block off the aneurysm) helps reduce your anxiety. The goal is to see if seeing a physical model makes you feel more at ease and better informed.
This trial uses your medical images (like MRI or angiography) to create a personalized map of your brain's blood vessels. The goal is to help doctors better plan minimally invasive treatments for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
This trial is testing a new stent (a small mesh tube) designed to treat wide-necked brain aneurysms. If you have this type of aneurysm, the stent helps hold coils in place to block blood flow and prevent rupture.
This study uses a 3D printed model of your artery bulge (aneurysm) to help your surgeon plan the operation before surgery. It may help make the surgery safer and more personalized.
This study follows people after a stroke to better understand how the brain’s artery narrowing changes over time. It uses special 3D scans to see how blood flow and artery structure evolve, which may help future stroke prevention and treatment.
