Testing a new brain blood vessel imaging catheter
This trial tests a new imaging system and tiny catheter that lets doctors see inside brain blood vessels more clearly during a planned angiogram. It may help people who need follow-up imaging after previous treatment or a diagnostic look at their vessels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new balloon microcatheter to treat narrowed arteries in the brain (a condition called intracranial artery stenosis) that are 70% or more blocked. The device is designed to open the artery and improve blood flow, which may help prevent strokes.
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 tests a new catheter (Super-Bore 8/7F) to remove blood clots in people having a major stroke caused by a blocked large artery in the brain. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective at restoring blood flow when used within 24 hours of stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests a new MRI contrast dye (gadopiclenol) to see if it works as well as the standard dye for finding blocked or narrowed blood vessels. If you have symptoms of vascular disease, you may be able to join and help compare the two dyes.
This trial tests whether a computer guidance system can help doctors choose the right pressure/blood-flow measurements during certain heart artery procedures. It may help ensure treatment decisions are based on the clearest information about narrowed arteries.
This study tests a new catheter (a thin tube) that helps doctors remove blood clots from the brain during a stroke. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well to restore blood flow.
