New stent device aims to better seal brain aneurysms
NCT ID NCT07372612
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares a newer flow-diverting stent to standard stent-assisted coiling for treating unruptured brain aneurysms in the middle cerebral artery. About 140 adults aged 18-70 will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to see which method more completely closes the aneurysm and reduces the chance of it coming back, while also checking safety and neurological function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Flow diverter device (Lattice stent) with optional coiling
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a more effective treatment for certain brain aneurysms, reducing the chance of recurrence and improving patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center Phase 4 trial with 140 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both procedures carry risks like bleeding or stroke, and the flow diverter may not prove superior.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Unruptured wide-necked middle cerebral artery bifurcation aneurysms definitively diagnosed by CTA or DSA; 2. Aneurysms requiring stent-assisted embolization with the necessity of preserving branch arteries; 3. Indication for either flow diversion device or conventional stent-assisted coiling; 4. Age between 18 and 70 years, inclusive; 5. The subject or their legally authorized representative has signed the written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Concomitant significant organ dysfunction (e.g., severe cardiac, hepatic, or renal insufficiency), chronic inflammatory disease, or malignancy; 2. Pregnant or lactating women; 3. Presence of significant neurological deficit (mRS score \> 2); 4. Presence of contraindications to flow diversion device or stent-assisted coiling (e.g., severe allergy to metallic material, contraindication to antiplatelet medication); 5. Other conditions deemed unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.
