Smarter catheter shaping for brain aneurysm treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a smarter way of shaping the tiny tube (catheter) used during coil embolization to treat brain aneurysms. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and potentially safer. If you are scheduled for this procedure, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a brain aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel in the brain) that is planned for treatment with coil embolization (a procedure to block blood flow to the aneurysm).
- You must be able to attend follow-up visits for about one year after the procedure.
- You should not be participating in another clinical study that could interfere with this one.
- You must not have a condition that limits your life expectancy to less than one year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing a new stent (a small mesh tube) designed to treat wide-necked brain aneurysms. If you have this type of aneurysm, the stent helps hold coils in place to block blood flow and prevent rupture.
This trial uses your medical images (like MRI or angiography) to create a personalized map of your brain's blood vessels. The goal is to help doctors better plan minimally invasive treatments for aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
This trial tests a new steerable guidewire that helps doctors navigate to brain aneurysms without surgery. It is for people with a brain aneurysm that has not burst and can be treated through a blood vessel in the leg.
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.
This trial tests a new device that is placed inside a brain aneurysm to block blood flow and prevent it from bursting. It may be an option for people with a single brain aneurysm that has not been treated yet.
This trial tests whether a gentle arm-cuff therapy (ischemic conditioning) may help reduce risk of small brain injuries after stent-assisted coiling for an unruptured aneurysm. Participants receive standard coiling plus the arm-cuff therapy during the procedure.
