Ultrasound test to find metal clips after brain aneurysm surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new, detailed ultrasound technique to see if it can spot the metal clips used during brain aneurysm surgery right after the operation. The goal is to help doctors quickly check that the clips are in the right place without extra radiation exposure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged between 18 and 85 years
- Had surgery to clip a brain aneurysm, or had other brain surgery without a clip (for comparison)
- Able to have a transcranial ultrasound within 3 hours after surgery
- Will have a CT scan after surgery as part of standard care
- Must give written permission to participate

This study uses a special MRI scan to look for unruptured brain aneurysms in people who have a close family member who had a bleeding aneurysm. It aims to find aneurysms early in those who smoke or have high blood pressure.
This study tracks people with brain aneurysms treated with a Sugita clipping device, watching how well it works and how they recover. It includes both ruptured and unruptured aneurysms, and follows standard care.
This study looks at a new way to check on brain aneurysms that have not burst and are not causing symptoms. It may help doctors decide if or when treatment is needed, using regular imaging instead of surgery.
This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors better see and understand brain aneurysms from MRI or CT scans. It aims to improve how accurately aneurysms are found and whether they are stable or at risk of rupturing.
This study tests and improves the equipment and computer settings used for ultrasound and MRI scans. It may help make these scans clearer and more reliable in the future for people who need them.
This trial looks at tiny particles in the blood called extracellular vesicles to see how they differ in patients with brain aneurysms. It may help doctors better understand these aneurysms and improve treatment.
