Safety and Effectiveness of an Intracranial Aneurysm Embolization System for Treating Large or Giant Wide Neck Aneurysms

Trial ID or NCT#

NCT01716117

Status

Purpose

This clinical research study is designed to determine safety and effectiveness of the Surpass Flow Diverter (Surpass System), an investigational device developed to treat wide-neck, large or giant intracranial aneurysms. An intracranial aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. The bulge is caused by a weakening of the vessel wall. If left untreated, the bulge may continue to grow larger and ultimately the vessel may break open (rupture), resulting in serious bleeding into or around the brain. The information collected from this study will be used to evaluate how well patients do when treated with the Surpass System both immediately after treatment of an aneurysm and over a long period of time (5 years).

Official Title

The Surpass Intracranial Aneurysm Embolization System Pivotal Trial to Treat Large or Giant Wide Neck Aneurysms (SCENT Trial)

Eligibility Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
Inclusion Criteria:
  1. - Age 19 to 80 years - Subject or legal representative is willing and able to give informed consent - Subject has a single targeted intracranial aneurysm - Subject agrees to return to the treating Investigator for all scheduled follow up visits and is capable of returning to the hospital for follow up
Exclusion Criteria:
