Stent treatment for unruptured brain aneurysm
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a flexible stent (Choydar flow-directed mesh) to treat unruptured brain aneurysms in the neck area of the carotid or vertebral arteries. It is for people whose aneurysm has not bled and fits certain size and shape limits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain aneurysm that has not burst.
- It is located in the internal carotid artery (from the petrous part to the end) or the vertebral artery.
- The aneurysm has a wide neck (neck width 4 mm or larger, or dome-to-neck ratio less than 2).
- The artery that leads to the aneurysm is between 2 mm and 6 mm wide.
- You are not allergic to metals used in the stent (nickel, titanium, platinum, tungsten).
- You can take medications to prevent blood clots, and you do not have an active infection.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 stent-assisted coiling procedure for people with wide-neck brain aneurysms. The goal is to see if the treatment is safe and effective, and you might be a good candidate if you haven't had previous aneurysm treatment and are in generally good health.
This trial tests a special stent (DERIVO) for brain aneurysms that have come back after earlier treatment. It's for people who cannot have other treatments like coiling or surgery.
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 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.
