Treating middle cerebral artery aneurysms with flow diverters
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat a type of brain aneurysm that has not burst, using tiny devices placed inside the artery to direct blood flow away from the aneurysm. It aims to see if one method is safer or works better for preserving nearby blood vessels.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an unruptured aneurysm at the middle cerebral artery (one of the main arteries in your brain).
- The aneurysm is wide-necked (the opening is broad) and needs a stent or flow diverter to keep nearby arteries open.
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You do not have severe heart, liver, or kidney problems, chronic inflammation, or cancer.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no major disability (like from a stroke).

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 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 trial tests a special metal mesh tube, called a flow diverter, to treat unruptured brain aneurysms. The goal is to see how safe and effective it is for preventing strokes.
This study looks at treatment options for aneurysms in a specific brain artery (the middle cerebral artery). It may help by guiding safer, more appropriate surgical or catheter-based treatment for aneurysms that fit certain health and imaging criteria.
This study tests a new way to treat small, unruptured brain aneurysms using a tiny mesh tube (flow diverter) to redirect blood flow and prevent rupture. It aims to help people with small aneurysms avoid surgery or other risks.
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.
