Study summary

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the eCLIPs™ products for the treatment of bifurcation aneurysms.

Read the detailed description

This study is a multicentre, open label, historically controlled, single-arm safety and efficacy study of the eCLIPs™ products in the management of bifurcated intracranial aneurysms at basilar tip and carotid terminus. Patients with basilar tip and carotid terminus aneurysms are not considered suitable for surgical treatment by the neurovascular community because of the poor outcome in these localizations. Patients included in the study will have saccular intracranial aneurysms that arise at or adjacent to a bifurcation, having a neck length of ≥ 4mm or have a dome:neck ratio \<2. Efficacy will be measured as the proportion of aneurysms achieving complete occlusion (Raymond-Roy 1) at 12 months, while safety will be measured as the proportion of patients without a major stroke or non-accidental death within 30 days (procedural) and without a major ipsilateral stroke or neurological death between 31 days and 12 months. Additional endpoints will be evaluated and data collected to assess safety and collect information on the eCLIPs™ family of products.

Patient with an unruptured or previously ruptured (at least 1 month from date of rupture and with partial occlusion of the dome of the aneurysm by endovascular techniques or by open neurosurgery, and in stable neurological condition-WFNS I and II with a good recovery to at least to mRS 0-2) saccular, intracranial aneurysm or recurrent aneurysm, which arises at a bifurcation of Basilar Tip or Carotid Terminus with a minimal diameter of 5mm and a maximal diameter \<25mm, has a neck length of >4mm or dome:neck ratio \<2, branch artery diameters in the range of 2.0mm to 3.25mm
  3. Patient aneurysm arises at a bifurcation artery with at least one of the two branch artery vessels having a diameter between 2.0mm and 3.25mm
  4. Patient understands the nature of the procedure and has the capacity to provide informed consent (including fluency in French language)
  5. Patient is willing to have on-site 30- day, 6-month, and 12 month follow-up evaluations as per standard clinical practice

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  7. Patient who has a known cardiac disorder, likely to be associated with cardio-embolic symptoms such as atrial fibrillation
  8. Patient with any condition that, in the opinion of the treating physician, would place the participant at a high risk of embolic stroke or with any medical co-morbidity likely to affect the outcome (e.g. pulmonary disease, uncontrolled diabetes, blood disorders)

  12. Patient with a life threatening allergy to contrast (patients with itching or rash as a reaction to contrast can be included if properly prophylactically treated)
  13. Patient with inappropriate anatomy as demonstrated by angiography due to severe intracranial vessel tortuosity or stenosis, or intracranial vasospasm not responsive to medical therapy
  14. Patient who is currently participating in another clinical research study involving an investigational product
  15. Patient who has had a previous intracranial procedure associated with the target aneurysm such that access and placement of an eCLIPs™ device would be compromised
  16. Stenting, angioplasty, or endarterectomy of an extracranial (carotid or vertebral artery) or intracranial artery within 30 days prior to the treatment date
  17. More than one intracranial aneurysm that requires treatment within 12 months.
  18. Asymptomatic extradural aneurysms requiring treatment
  19. Severe neurological deficit that renders the subject incapable of living independently
