Atorvastatin before flow diverter for brain aneurysms
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether taking atorvastatin before a flow diverter procedure can prevent strokes or other brain events in people with unruptured brain aneurysms. It may help reduce complications from the treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have an unruptured brain aneurysm (not previously treated) that is 3 to 25 mm in size.
- Your doctor plans to treat it with a flow diverter (a small mesh tube placed in the artery), with or without coils.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and can take atorvastatin safely (no allergies or conflicts with other medicines).
- You have not been on statins for 30 days or more, and you do not have other serious vascular problems like heart disease or stroke history.

This study uses detailed 3D X-rays and ultrasound to understand how blood flows through a mesh tube (flow diverter) placed in a brain aneurysm. It may help doctors predict and prevent narrowing inside the tube.
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.
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 whether high-dose atorvastatin can help protect the artery wall after emergency clot-removal treatment for an acute stroke. It uses a special 3T MRI scan to look for changes in the blood vessels and may lower the risk of future problems if the artery wall is better protected.
This trial tests whether giving a high dose of a statin (atorvastatin) before and during a heart valve replacement procedure (TAVR) can reduce the risk of brain injury. Statins are cholesterol-lowering drugs that may also protect the brain, and this study aims to see if they help people undergoing TAVR.
