Real-World data on brain aneurysm device could improve patient safety
NCT ID NCT01557036
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study observes people who have already been treated with the Pipeline Embolization Device for brain aneurysms. Researchers track neurological complications like stroke or bleeding to better understand the device's safety in everyday use. The goal is to expand knowledge on how well the device works outside of controlled clinical trials.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pipeline Embolization Device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide real-world evidence on the safety and effectiveness of the Pipeline device for brain aneurysms.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by patient selection or other factors.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: (All sites, All countries) 1. At least 1 Pipeline placed for treatment of an ICA 2. Patient or patient's Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) has signed an IRB- or EC-approved informed consent form, if required 3. Patient is willing and able to comply with follow-up visits United States: Additional Inclusion Criteria for subjects enrolled in the United States: 4US) Subjects who are age 22 or higher 5US) IA of at least 10 mm in maximum dimension along the internal carotid artery between the petrous and superior hypophyseal segments Canada: Additional Inclusion Criteria for subjects enrolled in Canada: 4C) In Canada, the Pipeline™ Embolization Device is intended for use with or without embolic coils for the treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms that are not amenable to treatment with surgical clipping. 5C) Canadian licensing/approval is limited to devices that are between 3.25 mm and 5.00 mm in diameter. France: Additional Inclusion Criteria for subjects enrolled in France: 4F) Unruptured IA, saccular or fusiform with an aneurysm sac diameter \> 15mm and not treatable with other current therapies ( EVT with coils with or without assisting system (intracranial stent) or balloon remodeling, or surgery) due to its specific morphology. 5F) IA previously treated with unruptured recanalization of the aneurismal sac \> 7 mm, not treatable with conservative treatment. Exclusion Criteria: (based on contraindications PED IFU) 1. Active bacterial infection 2. A patient in whom dual antiplatelet therapy (aspirin and clopidogrel) is contraindicated 3. A patient who has not received dual antiplatelet agents prior to the procedure 4. Pre-existing stent is in place in the parent artery at the target aneurysm location 5. Angiography demonstrates inappropriate anatomy, e.g., severe pre-or post-aneurysm narrowing 6. Acutely ruptured aneurysm, defined as rupture of the target aneurysm Each site should refer to their country specific Instructions for Use/Approval(France) to determine final eligibility into the ASPIRe Registry.
