About this study

Official title: Investigation of Clinical and Hemodynamic Factors Affecting the Outcome of Intracranial Aneurysm Embolization

This study was designed to collect a large series of patients with aneurysms treated endovascularly to analyze hemodynamic factors that affect aneurysm recanalization.

Read the detailed description

With the rapid development of endovascular technique, endovascular treatment has become the first line treatment for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Compared to microsurgical clipping, less invasive and lower morbidity have been shown after endovascular treatment. However, the aneurysms recanalization is the drawback of such modality. It has been reported that many factors, including complete initial embolization, stent assisted coiling, dense packing and flow diverter, could reduce recanalization rate. Larger size, wide neck, rupture status and intraluminal thrombosis are reported as risk factors of aneurysm recanalization. However, no analysis of hemodynamic risk factors affecting the aneurysm recanalization has been conducted in a large prospective series of patients.

Hemodynamics is reported to play an important role in aneurysm initiation, growth and rupture. Previous studies have showed that the hemodynamics is associated with outcomes of aneurysms after endovascular treatment. High wall shear stress and flow velocity are risk factors of aneurysm recanalization. However, the relationship between hemodynamics and aneurysm outcomes is still unclear. To explore the hemodynamic predictors of aneurysm recanalization is of great value for clinical practice.

Hemodynamic analysis for intracranial aneurysms recanalization after endovascular treatment (HARET) is a prospective trial designed to collect a large series of patients with aneurysms treated endovascularly to analyze hemodynamic factors that affect aneurysm recanalization.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. hemodynamic factors related to aneurysm recanalization as assessed by computational blood flow simulation

    Using computational fluid dynamic method, the parameters as wall shear stress (WSS), flow velocity, pressure could be calculated and analyzed. These will be studied as a composite indicator for recanalization assessment.

    Measured: assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. clinical factors related to aneurysm recanalization as recorded from medical chart

    for clinical risk factors as aneurysm size, neck size, treatment method, device use, follow-up interval, smoke history, hypertension, et al, will be recorded and analyzed.These will be studied as a composite indicator for recanalization assessment.

    Measured: assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Beijing Neurosurgical Institute at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

hemodynamic factors related to aneurysm recanalization as assessed by computational blood flow simulation (time frame: assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02812108, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jan 2021.
