New device aims to make brain aneurysm coiling safer
NCT ID NCT04518670
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a temporary device called Comaneci that helps doctors place coils in wide-necked brain aneurysms. 90 patients were treated and followed for up to 6 months to check safety and how well the aneurysm was sealed. The goal was to see if the device works well in everyday hospital use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Comaneci Embolization Assist Device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a safer way to treat wide-necked brain aneurysms without open surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed surveillance study, not a large randomized trial. Results may not apply to all aneurysm types or patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patient has a documented intracranial ruptured or unruptured aneurysm, suitable for embolization by coils. 2. Patient is considered for treatment with coil embolization assisted by the Comaneci Device for wide-necked intracranial aneurysms with neck width ≤ 10 mm. A wide-necked intracranial aneurysm is defined by the neck width as ≥ 4 mm or a dome-to-neck ratio \< 2. 3. A signed informed consent by the patient or legally authorized representative Exclusion Criteria: 1\. Patient with known hypersensitivity to nickel-titanium
