About this trial

This prospective, multicenter, observational registry study will evaluate the real-world safety, effectiveness, and clinical value of artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted microcatheter shaping during coil embolization of intracranial aneurysms.

Adults with an intracranial aneurysm who are scheduled to undergo coil embolization will be enrolled and followed for approximately 12 months. The study will not assign participants to a treatment strategy. All treatment decisions will be made by the treating physicians according to routine clinical practice.

Participants will be analyzed according to whether microcatheter shaping is performed based on the physician's experience alone or with assistance from an intelligent microcatheter shaping simulation technology. The study will evaluate major adverse events within 12 months, immediate aneurysm occlusion after the procedure, clinical and quality-of-life outcomes, follow-up imaging findings, serious adverse events, repeat treatment or rehospitalization, microcatheter delivery performance, and health care resource use. At least 1,438 participants are planned to be enrolled.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 years or older, with no restriction based on sex.

Diagnosis of an intracranial aneurysm confirmed by computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, or digital subtraction angiography, with the target aneurysm planned for treatment by coil embolization.

Ability to understand the study requirements and treatment procedures and provision of written informed consent before any study-specific procedure.

Disqualifiers

Currently unable or expected to be unable to complete the 1-year follow-up.

Participation in another clinical study that may affect the results of this study.

Life expectancy of less than 1 year because of another disease or medical condition.

Considered unsuitable for participation by the investigator.

Trial population

The study population will include adults with an intracranial aneurysm confirmed by computed tomography angiography, magnetic resonance angiography, or digital subtraction angiography who are scheduled to undergo coil embolization at participating study centers. Eligible patients will be enrolled prospectively after providing written informed consent. Participants will be classified into the physician-experience cohort or the AI-assisted cohort according to whether intelligent microcatheter shaping simulation technology is used during routine clinical care. Treatment strategy and use of the technology will not be assigned by the study protocol.

Time perspective

Prospective

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Physician-Experience Microcatheter Shaping

    Procedure/Surgery

    Microcatheter shaping is planned and performed by the treating physician according to clinical experience without assistance from the intelligent microcatheter shaping simulation technology. The shaping approach is determined during routine clinical care and is not assigned by the study protocol.

  • AI-Assisted Microcatheter Shaping Simulation Technology

    Device

    An artificial intelligence-based decision-support technology that analyzes three-dimensional cerebrovascular anatomy, assists with aneurysm localization and measurement, and provides a suggested microcatheter shaping plan for intracranial aneurysm coil embolization. Use of the technology is determined by routine clinical practice and is not assigned by the study protocol.

Group B: AI-Assisted Cohort1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Major Adverse Events Within 12 Months

Percentage of participants who experience at least one major adverse event from the index coil embolization procedure through 12 months. A major adverse event is defined as neurological death or major ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. Major stroke is defined as an increase of at least 4 points on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale.

Time frame
From the index procedure through 12 months after the procedure
2

Immediate Adequate Occlusion of the Target Aneurysm

Percentage of participants whose treated target aneurysm is classified as Raymond grade I or II on angiographic assessment immediately after coil embolization.

Time frame
Immediately after coil embolization on the day of the procedure

Secondary outcomes

1

Modified Rankin Scale Score

Distribution of modified Rankin Scale scores. The scale ranges from 0 to 6, with 0 indicating no symptoms and 6 indicating death. Lower scores indicate better functional status.

Time frame
At hospital discharge or Day 7 after the procedure, 30 days (±15 days), 180 days (±30 days), and 360 days (±45 days) after the procedure
2

EQ-5D-5L Health Utility Index

Health-related quality of life assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, which evaluates mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression. Responses will be converted to a health utility index according to the prespecified scoring method.

Time frame
At baseline, hospital discharge or Day 7 after the procedure, 30 days (±15 days), 180 days (±30 days), and 360 days (±45 days) after the procedure
3

EQ Visual Analog Scale Score

Participant-reported overall health status measured using the EQ Visual Analog Scale. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better self-reported health.

Time frame
At baseline, hospital discharge or Day 7 after the procedure, 30 days (±15 days), 180 days (±30 days), and 360 days (±45 days) after the procedure
4

Incidence of Procedure-Related Serious Adverse Events

Percentage of participants who experience at least one serious adverse event considered by the investigator to be related to the coil embolization procedure.

Time frame
From the index procedure through 12 months after the procedure
