New stents aim to seal dangerous brain aneurysms
NCT ID NCT04566263
First seen Mar 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 14 times
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 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.
