Trial summary

Endovascular coiling has become a strategy of choice of intracranial aneurysms due to its minimally invasiveness. However, there has few prospective randomized controlled studies on the comparison of therapeutic effect between endovascular coiling and microsurgical clipping, especially the latter via keyhole… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Controlled Study of Microsurgical Clipping Via Keyhole Approaches Versus Traditional Open Approaches and Endovascular Coiling for Ruptured Anterior Circulation Aneurysms

Endovascular coiling has become a strategy of choice of intracranial aneurysms due to its minimally invasiveness. However, there has few prospective randomized controlled studies on the comparison of therapeutic effect between endovascular coiling and microsurgical clipping, especially the latter via keyhole approaches, which has been widely used in recent years. Based on the data of a single center, a randomized controlled study was conducted on patients with ruptured anterior circulation aneurysms suitable for both endovascular and extravascular treatment, including endovascular coiling, microsurgical clipping via conventional craniotomy and keyhole approaches, in order to compare the efficacy of the above strategies and provide more objective basis for treatment selection for operators.

Read the detailed description

Consecutive patients of a single center will be screened. If spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is confirmed by head computed tomography (CT), a diagnostic CT angiography (CTA) or digital subtraction angiography (DSA) will be carried out emergently. A patients harbored a single intracranial aneurysm of anterior circulation that resulted in SAH will be concerned. Based on the assessment of condition, the patient will enrolled into this study without indication of decompressive craniectomy. The enrolled patients will be divided randomly into 3 groups, who experienced endovascular coiling, microsurgical clipping via conventional craniotomy and via keyhole approaches. All of these treatment will be conducted by a same senior neurosurgeon. CTA or DSA were followed up regularly. The occlusion rate, operative period, hospitalization duration and cost, surgical complications were compared and analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing keyhole microneurosurgery, conventional microneurosurgery and endovascular coiling in people with Randomized Controlled Trial and Intracranial Aneurysm, run by ZhuQing.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

occlusion rate of aneurysm (time frame: an average of 1 month). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Sep 2021.
