Blood flow study after flow diverter for brain aneurysm
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and not pregnant (if female).
- You have a brain aneurysm that was treated with a flow diverter (a mesh tube).
- You had a special X-ray (DSA) at least 1 month after the procedure to check the aneurysm.
- Your aneurysm is not caused by injury, infection, or other conditions like a tangle of blood vessels (AVM).
- You haven't had surgery or other procedures for this same aneurysm before.
- Your aneurysm is in a part of the brain that can be seen with a special ultrasound (TCCD).

This trial compares a flow diverter device to standard endovascular treatment for unruptured wide-neck brain aneurysms at a bifurcation. If you have this type of aneurysm, this study may help determine which treatment works better.
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 small metal mesh tube (called a flow diverter) that is placed inside the brain artery to treat a type of aneurysm that is not a simple round pouch. The goal is to see if it is safe and helps prevent the aneurysm from growing or bursting.
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 study tests a new device that helps block blood flow into a brain aneurysm to prevent it from bursting. It's for people with an unruptured, wide-necked aneurysm in a specific part of the carotid artery that hasn't been treated before.
This trial tests a special metal mesh tube, called a flow diverter, to treat unruptured brain aneurysms. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is for preventing strokes.
