Testing dome-only coiling for severe aneurysm bleeding
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific way of treating a brain aneurysm that has caused a severe bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage). Instead of coiling the whole aneurysm, doctors will only coil the dome part. The goal is to see if this simpler approach helps patients who are very sick from the bleeding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- A CT scan showed a severe brain bleed from an aneurysm.
- The aneurysm was found on an angiogram (a special X-ray of blood vessels).
- You have a high grade (3-5) of severity on the WFNS scale (a measure of how serious the bleed is).
- You have a legally authorized representative who can give consent within 72 hours of the bleed or your last known normal time.
- Your aneurysm is not suitable for balloon-assisted coiling (a different treatment).
- The aneurysm is not bleeding from its neck.
- You are not expected to die within the next 24 hours.
- You are not pregnant (if female).

This trial tests whether placing a small drain in the lower back and giving a clot-dissolving medicine (urokinase) into the fluid around the brain can help people recover from a severe bleeding stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. It is for patients who are treated quickly after the bleed.
This trial collects blood, spinal fluid, urine, and stool samples from people who have had a specific type of stroke caused by a brain aneurysm. The goal is to look at these samples in detail to learn more about the condition and possibly find new ways to treat or predict outcomes.
This study tests a blood-thinning medicine called tirofiban to see if it helps reduce delayed brain damage after a type of stroke from a bleeding brain aneurysm. It is for people who have already had their aneurysm fixed with coiling, and the medicine is given soon after.
This study tests a simple, non-invasive technique called remote ischemic preconditioning to help prevent lack of blood flow to the brain after a bleeding brain aneurysm. It works by repeatedly inflating and deflating a blood pressure cuff on an arm or leg, which may help protect the brain from further damage.
This trial is a long-term follow-up study of people who come to the emergency room with a ruptured brain aneurysm (bleeding in the space around the brain). It helps doctors understand what outcomes are most common and what may affect recovery over time.
This study tests a new coil device to treat brain aneurysms, which are bulging blood vessels in the brain that can be dangerous. The coil is placed inside the aneurysm to block blood flow and prevent rupture.
