Stent-assisted coiling for wide-neck brain aneurysms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new stent-assisted coiling procedure for people with wide-neck brain aneurysms. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and effective, and you might be a good candidate if you haven't had previous aneurysm treatment and are in generally good health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a wide-neck brain aneurysm (neck width at least 4 mm or dome-to-neck ratio less than 2).
- The main blood vessel leading to the aneurysm is 2.5 to 4.5 mm wide.
- Your doctor plans to treat the aneurysm with a stent and coils.
- You are able to take blood-thinning medicines (antiplatelet therapy) before and after the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests a flow-diverter stent (a small mesh tube) to treat brain aneurysms that are hard to close with standard methods. It may help if you have a wide-neck or other complex aneurysm that hasn't burst.
This trial tests a flow-diverting stent for treating certain brain aneurysms located in distal parts of the brain's arteries. It’s for people who have already received this stent and are between 18 and 80 years old.
This trial tests if using a stent with coils to treat a ruptured brain aneurysm is safe and effective. It is for people who have a specific type of aneurysm (wide-necked, cystic) and are treated soon after the rupture.
This study compares two ways to treat a type of brain aneurysm (a weak spot in a blood vessel) that has not burst. It looks at early problems after using a flow diverter or stent-assisted coiling, to see which might be safer or more effective.
