New Covered Stent (Willis) for the Endovascular Reconstruction of Intracranial Vessel Wall Defects Registry

Not Applicable
Conditions
Carotid-Cavernous Sinus Fistula
Aneurysm, Intracranial
Interventions
Device: WILLIS
Registration Number
NCT02820779
Lead Sponsor
Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, long-term safety and explore the safety and efficacy factors WILLIS™ intracranial stent graft system in clinical applications.

Detailed Description

Intracranial aneurysm is a cerebrovascular disorder in which weakness in the wall of a cerebral artery or vein causes a localized dilation or ballooning of the blood vessel.WILLIS® intracranial stent graft system is indicated for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

This study is a multi-center, prospective registration study.

Recruiting 100 specific patients to undergo a treatment with the WILLIS intracranial stent graft system, while giving the anti-platelet aggregation drugs and other medical therapy.

Patients enrolled will undergo a one-year follow-up.

Treatment success is defined as target lesion such as aneurysms, cavernous fistula shows no shadow and target vessel stenosis of no more than 50%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
X-ray exposure time24 hours
Target lesion treatment success rateImmediately after surgery
Technically success rate of surgeryimmediately after surgery

Technically success is defined as stent reach the target lesion and successfully released.
