Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the eCLIPs™ Family of Products for the treatment of unruptured intracranial bifurcation aneurysms in conjunction with embolization coils.
Detailed Description
With this other endoluminal stent/device implantation technique to treat intracranial aneurysms in conjunction with embolic coils, the neurovascular device is placed across the aneurysm neck, to act as a bridge to prevent coils from protruding into the parent artery. Stenting may allow to more safely achieve a higher packing density of coils. These effects may improve the rates of complete aneurysm occlusion and enhance the durability of the coiling treatment. The eCLIPs™ device manufactured by Evasc Medical Systems Corp. has a high density 'leaf' which is implanted across the bifurcation aneurysm neck and anchored in one of the branch arteries of the bifurcation and may provide improved bifurcation aneurysm treatment by allowing for a higher packing density of embolic coils implanted behind the eCLIPs™ device and the eCLIPs™ device in combination with embolic coils may reduce the recurrence/retreatment rate by increasing the rate of complete aneurysm occlusion.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Not provided
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients with the following characteristics are not eligible for study entry:
- •Patient who presents with an intracranial mass or currently undergoing radiation therapy for carcinoma of the head or neck region.
- •Patient with an International Normalized Ratio (INR)≥ 1.
- •Patient with serum creatinine level ≥104 µmol/L at time of enrolment.
- •Patient with a platelet count ˂100x103 cells/mm3 or known platelet dysfunction at time of enrolment
- •Patient who has a known cardiac disorder, likely to be associated with cardioembolic symptoms such as AFIB (atrial fibrillation)
- •Patient with any condition which in the opinion of the treating physician would place the participant at a high risk of embolic stroke
- •Patient with known allergies to nickel-titanium metal
- •Patient with known allergies to aspirin, heparin, ticlopidine, or clopidogrel
- •Patient with a life threatening allergy to contrast (unless treatment for allergy is tolerated)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
No participant incurs a major stroke or death within 30 days or major territorial stroke or neurological death within 6 months.
Time Frame: 30 day-6 month
A major stroke is defined as a new neurological event that persists for \>24 hours and results in a 4 point increase in the NIHSS score compared to baseline or compared to any subsequent lower score.
