Brief Summary

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of patients with a modified Rankin Score (mRS) below or equal to 21 year from procedure

mRS ≤2 from evaluation (questionnaire) at follow-up visits throughout study. Grading score is to be assessed as such: Grade 0 No symptoms at all. Grade 1 No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities Grade 2 Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance Grade 3 Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance Grade 4 Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance Grade 5 Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention Grade 6 Dead

Number of participants with imaging showing that index aneurysm has reached complete or near occlusion1 year from procedure

complete or near complete occlusion of the aneurysm

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

Discharge disposition (home; other hospital; rehabilitation facility; death)

Number of index aneurysms necessitating or having received retreatment due to re-occurenceWithin 12 +/- 2 months

Re-treatment of the index aneurysm as judged by imaging and interventionists neurosurgeons due to incomplete occlusion or hemorrhage

Number of participants with an interim modified Rankin Scale (mRS) below or equal to 2within 1 week post-procedure, 1-3 months, and 12 months post-treatment

mRS ≤2 from evaluation (questionnaire) at discharge and follow-up visits throughout study. Grading score is to be assessed as such: Grade 0 No symptoms at all. Grade 1 No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities Grade 2 Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance Grade 3 Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance Grade 4 Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance Grade 5 Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention Grade 6 Dead
