Why multiple brain aneurysms become unstable using high‑resolution MRI, imaging histology, and blood‑flow analysis

Official title: Risk Assessment and Mechanism Analysis of Intracranial Multiple Aneurysm Instability Based on High-resolution Magnetic Resonance, Imaging Histology and Hemodynamics

Run by Zhujiang Hospital · NCT06539767 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will try to identify imaging, blood‑pressure, and blood‑flow features that predict instability in adults (18–80) with multiple intracranial aneurysms who are candidates for endovascular treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 18–80 with diagnosed intracranial aneurysms (multiple) who are suitable for endovascular treatment, willing to undergo high‑resolution MRI and scheduled follow‑up, and able to give informed consent.

Probably not a fit

Patients with AVM, Moyamoya disease, or DAVF‑related aneurysms, those with contraindications to high‑resolution MRI, severe comorbidities precluding procedures, or poor compliance are unlikely to benefit from participation.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective observational cohort built on a preexisting multicenter multiple intracranial aneurysm (MIA) database. Participants will receive high‑resolution magnetic resonance imaging to detect aneurysm wall enhancement, noninvasive hemodynamic modeling from vascular imaging, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and imaging histology when available. Clinical and imaging biomarkers will be collected and patients followed over time to link these measures with aneurysm instability, growth, or clinical events. The study focuses on patients eligible for endovascular treatment and does not introduce investigational therapies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the project could help doctors predict which aneurysms are likely to become unstable so treatment can be targeted to prevent rupture.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work has shown aneurysm wall enhancement on HRMRI and hemodynamic measures can indicate instability, but prospectively combining HRMRI, imaging histology, ambulatory blood pressure, and hemodynamics in a multicenter MIA cohort is relatively novel.
