First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested a special stent designed to divert blood flow away from brain aneurysms, helping them heal. It involved 143 people with unruptured, wide-necked aneurysms. The main goal was to see if the stent could completely seal the aneurysm within a year without causing major strokes or artery narrowing.
