Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • poor clinical outcome(mRS>2)

    Number of patients experiencing a poor clinical outcome at one year post-treatment, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of \>2.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Occurrence of an intracranial hemorrhage following treatment

    one year

  • Failure of aneurysm occlusion using the intended treatment modality

    within 48 hours after attempted treatment

  • Overall mortality and morbidity

    one year and five years

  • Occurence of a "major" (saccular) aneurysm recurrence

    12 months (+/- 2 months)

  • Peri-treatment hospitalization lasting more than 20 days and/or discharge to a location other than home

    within a month or at discharge if earlier

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Endovascular management

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Endovascular treatment will be performed as soon as possible following randomization, according to standards of practice, and under general anesthesia. Details regarding type of coils, use of adjunctive techniques such as balloon-remodeling, stents or flow-diverters, as well as post-treatment medical management issues, will be left up to the physician performing the endovascular treatment.

Procedure: Endovascular management

Surgical management

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Surgical clipping will be performed as soon as possible following randomization, according to standards of practice, and under general anesthesia. Aneurysms thought by the treating physicians to require deliberate permanent proximal vessel occlusion, construction of a surgical bypass, or other flow-redirecting treatments that do not directly clip the aneurysm will not be excluded; these non-ISAT aneurysms are expected to be more difficult lesions to manage surgically as well as endovascularly.
