Filter by:The study aims to evaluate the safety and probable benefit of a medical device to treat wide-neck ruptured brain aneurysms.
This is a monocentric randomized prospective trial comparing 2 different endovascular strategies of intracranial arterial angioplasty in case of refractory intracranial arterial vasospastic stenosis : - chemical angioplasty - chemical and mechanical angioplasty
Despite the active development of surgical methods of treatment (endovascular embolization and microsurgical clipping) of cerebral aneurysms, determining the indications and method of surgical treatment of cerebral aneurysms still causes debate in many cases. To a greater extent, this concerns the treatment of unruptured aneurysms. While there are a number of randomized trials of surgical treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms, there is currently no published randomized trial comparing surgical clipping and endovascular embolization of unruptured aneurysms. The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of microsurgical clipping and endovascular embolization of cerebral aneurysms (both ruptured and unruptured) in a prospective, randomized fashion.
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.
Despite the theoretical benefits of i.v. agents, volatile agents remain popular. In a study comparing desflurane, isoflurane, and sevoflurane in a porcine model of intracranial hypertension, at equipotent doses and normocapnia, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and ICP were least with sevoflurane. Propofol is the most commonly used intravenous anesthetic. It has many theoretical advantages by reducing cerebral blood volume (CBV) and ICP and preserving both autoregulation and vascular reactivity. Neurosurgical patients anaesthetized with propofol were found to have lower ICP and higher CPP than those anaesthetized with isoflurane or sevoflurane. The well known pharmacodynamic advantages of intravenous anesthetics may give this group of drugs superior cerebral effects when compared with inhalation anesthetics.
Phase 1/2a Multicenter, Controlled, Randomized, Open Label, Dose Escalation, Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Study Comparing EG-1962 and Nimodipine in Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
With evolving endovascular technologies there is a growing debate centered on the relative safety and efficacy of the currently accepted alternatives for the treatment of ruptured cerebral aneurysms in the face of acute subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of microsurgical clipping and endovascular coiling of acutely ruptured cerebral aneurysms in a prospective, randomized fashion.
