Brief Summary

Intracranial bifurcation aneurysms are commonly repaired with surgical and with endovascular techniques. Wide-necked bifurcation aneurysms (WNBA) are a difficult subset of aneurysms to successfully repair endovascularly, and a number of treatment adjuncts have been designed. One particularly promising innovation is the WEB (Woven EndoBridge), which permits placement of an intra-saccular flow diverting mesh across the aneurysm neck, but which does not require anti-platelet agent therapy. Currently, which treatment option leads to the best outcome for patients with WNBA remains unknown. There is a need to offer treatment with the WEB within the context of a randomized care trial, to patients currently presenting with aneurysms thought to be suitable for the WEB.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of participants with imaging showing that index aneurysm has reached complete or near occlusion

    complete or near complete occlusion of the aneurysm

    1 year from procedure

  • Number of patients with a modified Rankin Score (mRS) below or equal to 2

    mRS ≤2 from evaluation (questionnaire) at follow-up visits throughout study. Grading score is to be assessed as such: Grade 0 No symptoms at all. Grade 1 No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities Grade 2 Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance Grade 3 Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance Grade 4 Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance Grade 5 Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention Grade 6 Dead

    1 year from procedure

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Number of participants with an interim modified Rankin Scale (mRS) below or equal to 2

    within 1 week post-procedure, 1-3 months, and 12 months post-treatment

  • Number of successful deployment of WEB device, coils or successful microsurgical, clipping, along with judgement of patency of parent arteries using imaging (depending on treatment received)

    within 1 hour from procedure

  • Number of incidences of successful or unsuccesful patency of parent arteries using imaging

    within 1 hour from procedure

  • Number of peri-operative complications

    ≥5 days

  • Number of aneurysm re-occurrences, (re-)rupture, or incomplete occlusion based on angiographic imaging

    12 +/- 2 months

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Standard conventional treatment (surgical or endovascular)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Treatment may include the most appropriate amongst surgical clipping, simple coiling, high-porosity stenting with or without coiling, and intra-arterial flow diversion with or without coiling, which will be predetermined by the treating physician prior to randomization.

Procedure: surgical clipping, simple coiling, high-porosity stenting with/ without coiling, intra-arterial flow diversion with/ without coiling

WEB embolization device

EXPERIMENTAL

Endovascular treatment with WEB, including standard management of thrombo-embolic risk

Device: WEB embolization device

Interventions

Treatment may include the most appropriate amongst surgical clipping, simple coiling, high-porosity stenting with or without coiling, and intra-arterial flow diversion with or without coiling, which will be predetermined by the treating physician prior to randomization.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • patient with an intracranial aneurysm in whom WEB is considered an appropriate therapeutic option by the participating clinician
  • aneurysm of maximum diameter of 4-11 mm
  • may include (but are not restricted to) saccular bifurcation aneurysms of the middle cerebral artery, basilar bifurcation, carotid terminus, or anterior communicating artery aneurysms
  • Recurring, persistent aneurysm after previous treatment can be included so long as the treating physician judges the aneurysm morphology to be appropriate.
  • Ruptured aneurysms with WFNS ≤ 3

You may not qualify if:

  • Absolute contraindication to surgery, endovascular treatment or anesthesia
  • Patients unable to give informed consent
  • diameter of the aneurysm ≤ 4 mm but ≥ 11 mm
  • Ruptured aneurysms with WFNS 4 or 5
