Treatment of Intracranial Wide-neck Aneurysms Using Stent-assisted Coil Embolization

Intracranial Aneurysms Clinical Trial

Official title: Treatment of Intracranial Wide-neck Aneurysms Using Stent-assisted Coil Embolization With the Stryker Neuroform EZ and Neuroform Atlas Stent Systems

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This device was designed to assist in the stent-assisted coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms, specifically those that have a wide neck that would not otherwise maintain the coil embolization material within the aneurysm because of the wide opening at the base of the aneurysm. This device was designed to treat aneurysms that are: unruptured, wide-necked, intracranial, saccular aneurysms arising from a parent vessel ≥ 2 mm and ≤ 4.5 mm. Wide-necked was defined as having a neck > 4mm or dome-to-neck ratio < 2.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a prospective study to investigate the efficacy of using stent-assistance for embolization of intracranial aneurysms with a wide neck (defined as > or = to 4mm, or with a dome to neck ratio of 2:1 or less). We plan to investigate successful embolization of intracranial aneurysms defined by angiographic occlusion of greater than or equal to 90% at 6 months. Patients will be followed for a minimum period of 2 years from the date of the procedure, with a planned total duration of 4 years of the study, including follow up time. Participants will be initially assessed and if included, will undergo procedure that includes use of the device. Afterwards, they will be scheduled for regular follow up at 2 weeks for clinical assessment, then again at 3 months for clinical assessment and MRA to investigate the stented region, then again at 6 months for clinical assessment and possible cerebral angiogram vs possible MRA, and then again at 1 year post-procedure, and then again at 2 years post-procedure. Patients may then follow up on an annual basis or every 2-3 years, depending on preference and any residual or recurrent aneurysm. A more specific timeline and treatment course is described below. Patients will receive cerebral angiography for evaluation of their cerebral vasculature and aneurysm configuration to ensure that the parent vessel diameter is adequate and that the aneurysm is 4mm in size with a wide neck. In these cases, if it is determined that the patient will require additional vascular support in order to adequately embolize the aneurysm then the use of stent-assisted coil embolization may be offered to the patient. Once enrolled, patients will undergo endovascular stent-assisted coil embolization of the aneurysm, and clinical outcomes will then be assessed. Data will be collected for analysis according to the primary and secondary outcome measures in addition to any deviations from the protocol or safety concerns as well ;
