Could your family history hide a silent brain aneurysm?
NCT ID NCT07387575
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses MRI scans to check for hidden brain aneurysms in close relatives (parents, siblings, or children) of people who have had a bleeding aneurysm. It aims to find who is at higher risk and how lifestyle factors like smoking or high blood pressure affect that risk. About 300 relatives aged 30 or older who smoke or have high blood pressure will be scanned.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study will enroll first-degree relatives of patients with aneurysmal stroke who are aged 30 years or older, current smokers or have hypertension and individuals with sporadic UIAs and no past family history of aneurysmal stroke or UIAs. Participants must be able to undergo magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and provide informed consent. Individuals with a prior intracranial aneurysm rupture, contraindications to MRI/MRA, pregnancy, or history of polycystic kidney disease, Marfan's Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, or fibromuscular dysplasia.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. First-degree relatives (parents, siblings, or children) of patients diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH); 2. Age ≥ 30 years at the time of enrollment, and current cigarette smokers or diagnosed with hypertension (either treated or untreated); 3. Able and willing to undergo magnetic resonance angiography (MRA); 5\. Able to provide written informed consent; 6. Sporadic aneurysm subjects must have a confirmed UIAs Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of intracranial aneurysm rupture or prior subarachnoid hemorrhage; 2. Contraindications to MRI/MRA (e.g., pacemaker, metallic implants, severe claustrophobia) or pregnancy (due to MRI safety considerations); 3. A history of polycystic kidney disease, Marfan's Syndrome, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, or fibromuscular dysplasia; 4. Unable or unwilling to provide informed consent; 5. Participation in another interventional study that could interfere with outcomes.
