The RISE Trial: A Randomized Trial on Intra-Saccular Endobridge Devices (NCT03936647)

🟢 Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic ⚙️ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM)

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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.
