New stent procedure tested against standard treatment for brain bulges

NCT ID NCT01811134

Summary

This study compared two different procedures for treating unruptured, wide-necked brain aneurysms (bulges in a brain artery). Researchers wanted to see if a newer technique using a special 'flow diverter' stent was as effective, safe, and cost-efficient as the standard treatment of filling the aneurysm with tiny metal coils. The trial involved 91 adult patients to determine which method provided better long-term results.
