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 treatments for a type of brain aneurysm at the fork of the middle cerebral artery that has not bled. It tests whether a flow-diverting device or a stent-assisted coiling is better at closing the aneurysm while keeping nearby blood vessels open.
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 flow diverter device (a small mesh tube) to treat a type of brain aneurysm that does not have a distinct neck. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective for people who are not good candidates for surgery or other treatments.
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 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.
