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

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.

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 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
