Steerable guidewire for brain aneurysm treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new steerable guidewire that helps doctors navigate to brain aneurysms without surgery. It is for people with a brain aneurysm that has not burst and can be treated through a blood vessel in the leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a brain aneurysm that has not burst and is reachable with a catheter
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have a bleeding disorder that would prevent you from taking blood thinners
- You are not allergic to nickel, and you have no other conditions that would make the catheter procedure risky

This trial tests a device called the Silk Vista that is placed inside a brain aneurysm to help it heal. It is for people with an unruptured brain aneurysm that has not been treated before or has come back after treatment.
This study tests a smarter way of shaping the tiny tube (catheter) used during coil embolization to treat brain aneurysms. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and potentially safer. If you are scheduled for this procedure, you may be able to join.
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 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 that is placed inside a brain aneurysm to block blood flow and prevent it from bursting. It may be an option for people with a single brain aneurysm that has not been treated yet.
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.
