Filter by:This study was designed to identify whether there is a measurable reduction in inflammation in walls of intracranial aneurysms with oral atorvastatin.
The objective of this study is to explore the effects of Sirolimus on the underlying molecular alterations of cerebral aneurysms.
This study is intended to show that the application of the Accero® (heal) stent is safe within the given indication.
This study will evaluate the feasibility to predict the prognosis of IDA with IMH by DCE-MRI and provide theoretical basis for the prognosis and intervention of the disease.
Intracranial bifurcation aneurysms are commonly repaired with surgical and with endovascular techniques. Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBA) are a difficult subset of aneurysms to successfully repair endovascularly, and a number of treatment adjuncts have been designed. One particularly promising innovation is the WEB (Woven EndoBridge), which permits placement of an intra-saccular flow diverting mesh across the aneurysm neck, but which does not require anti-platelet agent therapy. Currently, which treatment option leads to the best outcome for patients with WNBA remains unknown. There is a need to offer treatment with the WEB within the context of a randomized care trial, to patients currently presenting with aneurysms thought to be suitable for the WEB.
Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions.
Pipeline TM embolization device launched to China in 2014, and has been widely used to treat large width IA. Therefore, it is necessary to collect and analysis the clinical data to evaluate effectiveness and safety of its usage in Chinese population, and this may guide the clinical practice and meet the clinical needs better.
This observational, retrospective, single-arm, multi-centre cohort study will use real-world data (RWD) to develop real-world evidence (RWE) of the safety and clinical effectiveness of the Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ in Australian patients that have received a flow diversion device to treat an intracranial aneurysm (IA). The medical records from 500 procedures completed at Gold Coast University Hospital in Queensland (QLD), Prince of Wales Hospital in New South Wales (NSW), and Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital in Western Australia (WA), will be analysed. The study will report the risk and likelihood of stroke (ischaemic and haemorrhagic), delayed neurological adverse events and incomplete aneurysm occlusion within sub-groups of the patient cohort and determine the predictive or confounding factors that influence clinical outcomes under pragmatic or 'real-world' conditions.
ADPKD is the most common form of hereditary kidney disease and is known to occur in 1 of 400 to 1000 population in the U.S. ADPKD consists of 2.8% of patients receiving kidney transplantation in our center. It is known that ADPKD is associated with vascular anomalies, including abdominal aneurysms, valvular anomalies and especially intracranial aneurysms. Intracranial aneurysms occur in 9~12% of the ADPKD population which is higher than 2~3% in the general population and is known to be associated with PKD1 or PKD2 heritage. Until now, most of the studies regarding intracranial aneurysms in ADPKD are conducted in animal models, and there are only few cellular studies conducted from human samples. While performing kidney transplantation to ESRD ADPKD patients, arterial tissues from nephrectomy specimens can be obtained. The objective of this study is to investigate the mechanism of intracranial aneurysm in ADPKD patients by analyzing iliac and renal artery characteristics.
Does Aspirin reduce inflammation in the walls of unruptured brain aneurysms? Brain aneurysms are balloon-like outpouchings of a blood vessel resulting from a weakness in the vessel wall. They generally cause no symptoms, but can burst and cause a bleed in the brain, resulting in death or disability. Aneurysms occur in 1 in 30 people, but rarely burst, with 1 in 10,000 people having a brain bleed. Ideally, aneurysms would be treated before they burst to prevent bleeding in the brain. The two ways of treating aneurysms currently are both risky and invasive, and no medications have been shown to reduce the risk of aneurysms bursting. Aspirin is one of the most common medications, used worldwide to treat pain, fever and inflammation, and for the prevention of strokes and heart attacks. Its anti-inflammatory properties may be beneficial for patients with aneurysms. We know that the walls of burst aneurysms and aneurysms that are about to burst, are more inflamed than those that do not burst. Therefore, a drug that reduces inflammation may reduce the risk of an aneurysm bursting. We have designed this study to test whether there is a measurable reduction in inflammation in walls of brain aneurysms. In this study, participants known to have an aneurysm that is not planned for treatment and has not yet burst, take aspirin daily for three months, and have an MRI scan before and after to look for a reduction in inflammation. If this study is successful it would be the first step towards developing the first medication to help treat patients with aneurysms, representing a huge advance for the 2.1 million people in the UK with this condition.
