NCT ID NCT06972953
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new, remotely controlled guidewire called SmartGUIDE for treating unruptured brain aneurysms. It involves 30 adults who need a catheter-based procedure. The goal is to see if the new wire is safer and easier to navigate through blood vessels compared to standard wires.
