Neurovascular navigation with a remotely controlled deflectable guidewire

NEUROvascular NAVigation With Remotely Controlled Deflectable Guidewire, Study II (NeuroNAV Study II)

Not applicable Interventional Artiria Medical · NCT06972966

This study will test whether the SmartGUIDE remotely controlled deflectable guidewire navigates safely and successfully through brain blood vessels compared with standard guidewires in adults undergoing transcatheter treatment for unruptured cerebral aneurysms.

What this trial studies

This interventional study compares the SmartGUIDE deflectable guidewire to standard-of-care guidewires during endovascular treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Adults eligible for transcatheter aneurysm treatment and able to provide informed consent will be enrolled and undergo procedures at the study center. The primary focus is on navigation performance and safety within the neurovasculature, with procedural outcomes and device-related complications recorded. Standard inclusion and exclusion criteria (e.g., pregnancy, vascular fragility, contrast contraindication) are applied to protect participant safety.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults over 18 with a confirmed unruptured cerebral aneurysm that can be treated via a transcatheter approach and who can give informed consent are the ideal candidates.

Not a fit: Patients who are pregnant, have known vascular fragility or prior vascular injury in target vessels, have contraindications to contrast or antiplatelet therapy, or are otherwise excluded by the trial criteria are unlikely to benefit from participation.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the SmartGUIDE may make catheter navigation through brain vessels easier and safer, potentially reducing procedure time and complications.

How similar studies have performed: Remotely controlled deflectable guidewires are an emerging technology with limited published neurovascular trials, though related devices have shown feasibility in other vascular territories.
