New stents aim to seal dangerous brain aneurysms
NCT ID NCT04566263
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested two stent systems (Neuroform EZ and Neuroform Atlas) used with coils to treat wide-neck brain aneurysms. Wide-neck aneurysms are hard to seal because coils can fall out. The stents act like a scaffold to keep coils in place. 30 adults with unruptured, wide-neck aneurysms took part. The main goal was to see if the aneurysm could be at least 90% sealed.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Neuroform EZ and Neuroform Atlas stent systems (medical devices)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a safer, more effective way to seal wide-neck brain aneurysms and prevent them from bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with only 30 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and there are risks from the procedure and required anti-platelet medication.
