Steroid after stent for unruptured brain aneurysm
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a steroid called methylprednisolone, given soon after a flow diverter stent is placed, can help reduce inflammation and improve outcomes for people with an unruptured brain aneurysm. It is for patients who are already scheduled for this stent procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have an unruptured brain aneurysm (one that has not bled).
- Your aneurysm is between 3 and 25 millimeters in size.
- You are scheduled to get a flow diverter stent (a mesh tube placed in the artery).
- You are not currently on long-term steroid therapy or have certain health conditions like active infections, recent stroke, or uncontrolled high blood pressure.

This trial tests whether taking atorvastatin before a flow diverter procedure can prevent strokes or other brain events in people with unruptured brain aneurysms. It may help reduce complications from the treatment.
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 study tests if adding the steroid methylprednisolone to the standard clot-removal procedure (thrombectomy) can improve recovery for people with a large ischemic stroke, compared to thrombectomy alone.
This study tests if adding a steroid medication (methylprednisolone) to the standard procedure of removing a large blood clot from the brain can improve recovery for people with a severe ischemic stroke. It is for adults who can have the clot removal procedure and have a large area of brain damage.
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.
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.
