Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adult patients aged 18 and older who have undergone endovascular treatment with specified flow diverter devices or endosaccular flow disruptors.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not received treatment for intracranial aneurysms or those under 18 years of age may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This multicenter observational study aims to assess the technical performance, safety, and clinical outcomes of intracranial aneurysms treated with flow diverter stents and endosaccular flow disruptors. It will compare various devices used in endovascular treatments, focusing on parameters such as procedure time, radiation exposure, and long-term success rates. The study seeks to fill the gap in direct comparative data regarding these evolving treatment options for aneurysms.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the most effective treatment options for patients with intracranial aneurysms.
How similar studies have gone: While various studies have shown promising results for flow diversion techniques, this specific comparative approach is relatively novel and aims to provide more definitive data.
