Shorter blood thinner course after aneurysm coiling may be just as safe
NCT ID NCT05257824
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 528 adults who had a brain aneurysm fixed with a stent and coils. It compared taking two blood thinners for 6 months versus 12 months after the procedure. The goal was to see if the shorter course could prevent blood clots just as well while reducing bleeding risks.
