Endovascular Treatment for Brain Blood Vessel Spasm After Aneurysm Rupture
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests an endovascular procedure (a minimally invasive catheter-based treatment delivered through blood vessels) combined with a heart medication called milrinone to treat cerebral vasospasm—dangerous blood vessel narrowing that can occur after a ruptured brain aneurysm. The goal is to improve neurological recovery and prevent stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old
- You had a ruptured brain aneurysm confirmed by CT scan with the source identified by advanced imaging (CTA, MRA, or DSA)
- Your aneurysm was already treated with either endovascular coils or surgical clipping
- You have signs of cerebral vasospasm (blood vessel narrowing) within 14 days, shown by worsening neurological symptoms, ultrasound findings, or imaging
- You can tolerate a catheter-based procedure and do not have contraindications to milrinone (a heart medication)
- You do not have severe pre-existing brain or systemic diseases, poor blood pressure control, or are pregnant/breastfeeding

This trial tests a safe, non-invasive treatment called remote ischemic conditioning (using a blood pressure cuff on your leg) to see if it helps brain recovery after aneurysm surgery. It might reduce secondary damage and improve outcomes.
This study tests a treatment for people who have had a brain bleed (subarachnoid hemorrhage) and are at risk for delayed brain damage due to narrowed blood vessels. It looks at whether a special procedure to relax the vessels (spasmolysis) combined with raising blood pressure can prevent long-term harm.
This trial looks at a procedure that blocks specific nerves to help prevent or treat blood vessel spasm in the brain after a ruptured brain aneurysm. If you qualify, it may help improve blood flow to the brain during recovery in the ICU.
This trial is for people who had a mild stroke and then got worse within 1 to 14 days, due to a blocked artery in the back of the brain. It tests whether a procedure to open the blocked artery can improve outcomes compared to standard care alone.
This study tests a procedure called endovascular recanalization, which uses a small tube to open a blocked artery in the brain. It is for people who had a stroke or mini-stroke recently and are still having symptoms despite taking medication. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of another stroke.
This trial tests a procedure called endovascular therapy (a way to remove the blood clot using a catheter) for people with a severe stroke caused by a large blockage in the back of the brain. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve outcomes compared to standard care.
