Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

With the rapid development of endovascular technique, endovascular treatment has become the first line treatment for intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Compared to microsurgical clipping, less invasive and lower morbidity have been shown after endovascular treatment. However, the aneurysms recanalization is the drawback of such modality. It has been reported that many factors, including complete initial embolization, stent assisted coiling, dense packing and flow diverter, could reduce recanalization rate. Larger size, wide neck, rupture status and intraluminal thrombosis are reported as risk factors of aneurysm recanalization. However, no analysis of hemodynamic risk factors affecting the aneurysm recanalization has been conducted in a large prospective series of patients.

Hemodynamics is reported to play an important role in aneurysm initiation, growth and rupture. Previous studies have showed that the hemodynamics is associated with outcomes of aneurysms after endovascular treatment. High wall shear stress and flow velocity are risk factors of aneurysm recanalization. However, the relationship between hemodynamics and aneurysm outcomes is still unclear. To explore the hemodynamic predictors of aneurysm recanalization is of great value for clinical practice.

Hemodynamic analysis for intracranial aneurysms recanalization after endovascular treatment (HARET) is a prospective trial designed to collect a large series of patients with aneurysms treated endovascularly to analyze hemodynamic factors that affect aneurysm recanalization.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
hemodynamic factors related to aneurysm recanalization as assessed by computational blood flow simulation
Time Frame: assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure
Using computational fluid dynamic method, the parameters as wall shear stress (WSS), flow velocity, pressure could be calculated and analyzed. These will be studied as a composite indicator for recanalization assessment.
assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
clinical factors related to aneurysm recanalization as recorded from medical chart
Time Frame: assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure
for clinical risk factors as aneurysm size, neck size, treatment method, device use, follow-up interval, smoke history, hypertension, et al, will be recorded and analyzed.These will be studied as a composite indicator for recanalization assessment.
assessed at 6 months (plus or minus 3 months) after procedure
