Robot-assisted brain surgery tested for rare stroke risk disease
NCT ID NCT07140731
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new robotic surgical system (Symani) in 15 adults with Moyamoya disease, a rare condition that narrows brain arteries and raises stroke risk. The surgery aims to improve blood flow to the brain. Participants must have mild to moderate symptoms and agree to the procedure.
