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 studies whether placing a WEB device inside certain brain aneurysms can control the aneurysm and reduce risk. You might be considered if your aneurysm fits size and severity limits and your doctor thinks the WEB approach is appropriate.
This trial tests a device called Silk Vista, a small mesh tube placed inside a brain artery to block blood flow to an unruptured aneurysm (a balloon-like bulge). The goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
This trial tests a new device that blocks blood flow into brain aneurysms (balloon-like bulges in blood vessels). It is for patients with a specific type of unruptured or recently ruptured aneurysm, located in three common places in the brain, that has a wide neck.
This study tests a new computer-assisted way to shape the microcatheter used during brain aneurysm coiling. It may help make the procedure more precise and safe.
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 trial tests a new device called the TUBE Device to treat unruptured brain aneurysms that are wide-necked or have a shape that makes them harder to treat. The device is placed inside the blood vessel to block blood flow to the aneurysm and reduce the risk of rupture.
