Comparing two treatments for unruptured brain aneurysms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with an unruptured, wide-neck brain aneurysm at a bifurcation (where an artery splits).
- You have not had a stroke or brain bleed in the past month.
- You are able to take blood thinners (antiplatelet or anticoagulant medicines).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have a life expectancy of at least one year.

This trial compares a flow diverter device to standard endovascular treatment for unruptured wide-neck brain aneurysms at a bifurcation. If you have this type of aneurysm, this study may help determine which treatment works better.
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 tests a new way to treat small brain aneurysms (10 mm or smaller) using a device called a flow diverter. The goal is to see if reconstructing the parent artery is a safe and effective option for people who haven't had a rupture.
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 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 compares two treatments for a type of brain aneurysm at the fork of the middle cerebral artery that has not bled. It tests whether a flow-diverting device or a stent-assisted coiling is better at closing the aneurysm while keeping nearby blood vessels open.
