Brief Summary

To compare the safety and effectiveness of Pipeline Embolization Device to coil embolization for the treatment of coilable wide-necked intracranial aneurysms

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age 21 to 75 years, inclusive
  • Patient has a single target IA that:
  • is located in the following regions of the internal carotid artery: i. Paraophthalmic (including paraclinoid, ophthalmic and hypophyseal segments) ii. Cavernous iii. Petrous
  • is saccular
  • has a parent vessel with diameter 2.5-5.0 mm
  • If target IA has a neck \>4 mm, at least 2 of 3 members of an independent expert committee (IEC) have confirmed that coil embolization with optional adjunctive techniques\*\* has a very high likelihood of procedural success (i.e., coil placement and retention)
  • Subject has provided written informed consent using the IRB-approved consent form
  • Subject has the necessary mental capacity to participate and is willing and able to comply with protocol requirements
  • \*\* Adjunctive techniques include intravascular balloons \["balloon remodeling"\], 3D coils, dual catheter techniques.

Exclusion

  • Target IA has BOTH neck \>4 mm AND size (maximum fundus diameter) \>10 mm
  • More than one IA requires treatment in the next 6 months
  • Subarachnoid hemorrhage in the past 60 days
  • Any intracranial hemorrhage in the last 42 days
  • Major surgery in the last 42 days
  • Coils in place in the target IA
  • Unstable neurologic deficit (i.e., any worsening of clinical condition in the last 30 days)
  • Known irreversible bleeding disorder
  • Platelet count \< 100 x 103 cells/mm3 or known platelet dysfunction
  • Inability to tolerate, documented evidence of adverse reaction or contraindication to study medications
  • Prior stent placement at target site
  • Contraindication to CT scan AND MRI
  • Known allergy to contrast used in angiography that cannot be medically controlled
  • Known severe allergy to platinum or cobalt/chromium alloys
  • Relative contraindication to angiography (e.g., serum creatinine \> 2.5 mg/dL)
  • Woman of child-bearing potential who cannot provide a negative pregnancy test
  • Evidence of active infection at the time of treatment
  • Other known conditions of the heart, blood, brain or intracranial vessels that carry a high risk of neurologic events (e.g., severe heart failure, atrial fibrillation, known carotid stenosis)
  • Current use of cocaine or other illicit substance
  • Any comorbid disease or condition expected to compromise survival or ability to complete follow-up assessments to 180 days
  • Extracranial stenosis greater than 50% in the carotid artery
  • Intracranial stenosis greater than 50% in the treated vessel
