Summary

This study compares two ways to treat aneurysms in a specific brain artery: open surgery (clipping) and a less invasive procedure using catheters (endovascular). About 400 adults with this type of aneurysm will be randomly assigned to one treatment. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes, like complete healing and fewer complications.
