Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject age ≥18 and ≤80 years with a diagnosis of a ruptured or unruptured intracranial aneurysm judged suitable for selective endovascular treatment by coil occlusion during single procedure
  • Aneurysm size [largest measurement from the cross sectional images to determine overall aneurysm size, not just the lumen) ≥5 mm and ≤16mm
  • If ruptured aneurysm: either WFNS grade 1 or 2, or Hunt and Hess 1 or 2
  • If unruptured aneurysm: Subject grade Modified Rankin Scale mRS 0 - 2
  • Investigator plans to use ≥70% in volume TrelliX coils to fill target aneurysm

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior treatment (surgical or endovascular) of the target aneurysm
  • Planned treatment of multiple aneurysms in index procedure
  • Planned use of other modified coils (Matrix, HydroCoil or fibered coils)
  • Planned use of liquid embolic material
  • Life expectancy less than 12 months
  • Presence of arteriovenous malformation
  • Fusiform, mycotic, traumatic, or tumoral aneurysms
  • Intended or planned aneurysm treatment by parent vessel occlusion
  • Clipping or endovascular treatment of another intracranial aneurysm performed within 30 days before or planned within 30 days following the index procedure
