Testing a flow-diverter stent for brain aneurysms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a brain aneurysm (a bulge in a blood vessel) that is wide-necked, saccular, fusiform, recurrent, or dissecting, and the artery is 2–6 mm wide.
- You have not had a stroke in the last 30 days.
- You are not allergic to metals like cobalt-chromium or platinum-tungsten, or to contrast dye.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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.
This trial compares two ways to treat a type of brain aneurysm that has not burst, using tiny devices placed inside the artery to direct blood flow away from the aneurysm. It aims to see if one method is safer or works better for preserving nearby blood vessels.
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 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 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 tests a new stent, a small mesh tube placed inside the artery to block blood flow to a wide-neck brain aneurysm, reducing its rupture risk. It aims to see how safe and effective this stent is for people aged 22–80.
