Placenta learning model for aneurysm surgery training
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial uses donated placentas (surgical waste) to create a model for training neurosurgeons in repairing brain aneurysms. It does not test a treatment, but helps improve surgical skills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman over 18 years old.
- You had a planned cesarean section or vaginal delivery and your placenta would normally be discarded.
- You have been tested for infections during pregnancy and results are negative.
- You agree to donate your placenta for educational use to train future neurosurgeons.

This trial tests a new device called the World Diverter Embolization Device to treat brain aneurysms (a weak spot in a blood vessel that can bulge or burst). The device is placed inside the artery to block blood flow into the aneurysm. This study checks if the device is safe and works well.
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 trial tests a new device that blocks blood flow into brain aneurysms (balloon-like bulges in blood vessels). It is for patients with a specific type of unruptured or recently ruptured aneurysm, located in three common places in the brain, that has a wide neck.
This study tests whether practicing the procedure on a 3D-printed brain model helps doctors treat certain unruptured carotid-sylvian aneurysms more safely or effectively. You may be asked to have (or recently had) special 3D imaging so a printed model can be used for planning.
This trial tests if using special preserved brain and spinal cord models helps medical students learn neuroanatomy. If you are a third-semester medical student at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and have not used these models before, you may be able to join.
This study looks at placenta accreta spectrum (a serious placenta problem) using ultrasound or MRI images. It may help by classifying the condition in a more detailed way so surgeons can plan the right operation during surgery.
