Active clinical trials for "Intracranial Aneurysm"

Primary Objectives: To establish Target Aneurysm Recurrence (TAR) rates for Matrix 2® and GDC® Coils used for the treatment of intracranial saccular aneurysms. TAR is defined as clinically relevant recurrence resulting in: target aneurysm reintervention, rupture/re-rupture and/or death from an unknown cause. To correlate defined angiographic endpoints with TAR rates and assess their predictive value, thereby providing a framework to establish clinically relevant endpoints for future studies. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate device characteristics, incidence and severity of device-related adverse events, including death, neurological deterioration and changes in functional abilities. To establish angiographic recurrence rates for Matrix 2® and GDC® Coils used for the treatment of intracranial saccular aneurysms. To explore an experimental, quantitative and volumetric endpoint and correlate these with existing qualitative assessments.

Rationale: Intrasaccular neck occlusion devices have been used for unruptured aneurysm without safety concerns and good occlusion rates. In the setting of a subarachnoid hemorrhage, they could improve the rate of complete occlusion without safety concerns. Aim: To explore the safety and efficacy of intrasaccular neck occlusion devices in patients with acute subarachnoid hemorrhage caused by a ruptured saccular aneurysm by a one arm prospective registry. Study outcome: The primary outcomes is the rate of complete occlusion (Raymond-Roy I) and rebleeding at one year follow-up. The primary safety outcome is rate of rebleeding during the admission.

The goal of this study was to verify the safety and effectiveness of Target Tetra® Detachable Coil in the endovascular embolization treatment of small intracranial aneurysm (≤5mm).

This is a prospective multi-center, single arm, non-randomized study. It is designed to evaluate the safety of the PulseRider® in patients undergoing treatment for bifurcation intracranial aneurysms.

The investigators designed a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine on the recovery characteristics of patients who were scheduled to undergo endovascular coil embolization.

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine if using FloTrac/EV1000 system in neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomies for aneurysm repair or tumor resection complicated by cerebral edema, or complex spinal surgery including multi-level scoliosis correction, is a more effective way of monitoring fluid.

Vitamin D has been shown to impact prognosis in a variety of retrospective and randomized clinical trials within an intensive care unit (ICU) environment. Despite these findings, there have been no studies examining the impact of hypovitaminosis D in specialized neurocritical care units (NCCU). Given the often significant differences in the management of patients in NCCU and more generalized intensive care units there is a need for further inquiries into the impact of low vitamin D levels in this specific environment. This study proposes a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single center evaluation of vitamin D supplementation in the emergent NCCU patient population. The primary outcome will involve length-of-stay for emergent neurocritical care patients. Various secondary outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, ICU length-of-stay, Glasgow Outcome Score on discharge, complications and quality-of-life metrics. Patients will be followed for 6 months post-discharge.

The scope of this trial is the collection and analysis of effectiveness and safety endpoints, related to the use of the MicroPort NeuroTech Coil Embolization System in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

The STAT trial aims at comparing coiling versus coiling plus stenting in patients with aneurysms prone to recurrence, that is large aneurysms or recurring aneurysms after previous coiling or wide-necked aneurysms. The primary hypothesis is that the use of stenting in addition to coiling decreases the recurrence rate from 33% to 20% at 12 months as compared to coiling alone.

The PRET study aims at comparing two types of coils used in the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The first type made of platinum has been used for more than 15 years. The other, referred to as hydrocoil, containing in addition to platinum a polymer layer that expands when in contact with blood, has been in use since 2002. The hypothesis of the PRET study is that the newer hydrocoil will be more effective and yet as safe as the older platinum coil.
