Which brain aneurysm treatment is safer? a Head-to-Head test

NCT ID NCT07754188

First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two procedures used to treat unruptured wide-neck brain aneurysms: flow diverter stents and stent-assisted coiling. Researchers will follow 274 adults from three centers in China who receive one of these treatments as part of routine care. The main question is whether one approach leads to fewer strokes or deaths within 30 days after the procedure. The findings could help doctors choose the safer option for this type of aneurysm.

What this could lead to
If one approach proves safer, it could guide doctors toward the better treatment for wide-neck brain aneurysms, reducing stroke risk.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be influenced by patient differences. Complications like stroke or death are possible with either procedure.
