Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with an aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation who are undergoing endovascular embolization or coiling.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are not undergoing imaging during their procedures may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This study focuses on enhancing the safety and efficiency of endovascular procedures for treating brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) through innovative preoperative planning methodologies. By utilizing advanced mapping of cerebral vasculature and creating computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and artificial intelligence (AI) models, the study aims to simulate blood flow and improve catheter navigation. This approach seeks to reduce the risk of complications and radiation exposure during procedures, ultimately leading to faster and more accurate interventions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to safer and more effective endovascular treatments for patients with brain aneurysms and AVMs.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in using advanced imaging and modeling techniques for similar endovascular procedures, indicating a potential for success in this approach.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

* Subjects who are diagnosed with aneurysm or arteriovenous malformation
* Subjects who are treated (or will be treated) with endovascular embolization and/or arteriovenous coiling
* During and before/after the subject's intervention, medical images (MRI, 3D rotational angiography, DSA) were collected of the cerebral arterial vascular tree (which can be used to develop patient-specific models), including catheter location and use of contrast fluid to visualize the cerebral to make the arterial tree more visible.

Exclusion Criteria:

-Procedures during which no imaging was performed
