About this study

This is a multi-center observational study. Treatment and follow-up visits will be performed as per standard of care. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that use of the FRED/ FRED Jr/ FRED X Embolic device in intracranial aneurysm treatment is safe and effective when assessed at 6, 12 months and yearly up to 5 years post procedure.

150 patients will be enrolled over an 15-month recruitment period. All patients will be followed for 5 years.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patient older than 18 years old
  • Patient harboring a non-acutely ruptured intracranial aneurysm within the last 30 days of presentation:
  • for which use of FRED, FRED Jr or FRED X has been deemed appropriate
  • being the only aneurysm to require treatment within the next 12 months
  • and optionally previously treated by surgery (clipping) or with an intrasaccular device: aneurysm recanalized
  • Patient with a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤ 2
  • Patient has received information about data collection and has signed and dated an Informed Consent Form

Exclusion criteria

  • Patient has suffered from an ICH within the 30 days prior to the procedure.
  • The aneurysm to be treated is associated with a cAVM
  • The aneurysm to be treated is in the posterior circulation
  • The aneurysm to be treated has a stenosis of its parent artery >50%
  • Patient has another aneurysm previously treated with a stent or a flow diverter
  • on the same parent vessel at any time
  • on a different parent vessel, less than 3 months prior to the procedure (previously-implanted stents in the non-index proximal carotid are acceptable)
  • Patient with whom anticoagulant, antiplatelet or thrombolytic drugs are contra-indicated or test performed regarding AP medication administered is not efficient for the patient
  • Patient with known hypersensitivity to contrast products or nickel titanium, not treatable
  • Pregnancy or child breastfeeding
  • Patient unable or unlikely to complete required follow up
  • Patient has severe or fatal comorbidity or a life expectancy of less than 1 year
  • Treatment with a flow diverter other than FRED/ FRED Jr/ FRED X or in addition to FRED/ FRED Jr/ FRED X is planned

Treatment and study plan

FRED, FRED Jr and FRED X

Device

Subjects aged ≥ 18 requiring treatment for an unruptured or recanalized intracranial aneurysm

Other names: Flow Re-Direction Endoluminal Device

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of complete aneurysm occlusion without associated stenosis of the parent artery (> 50%)

    Time frame: 12 months

    Complete occlusion (Raymond Scale grade I) without stenosis of the parent artery.

    Raymond scale definition: Grade I= complete occlusion of aneurysm, Grade II= Residual neck, Grade III= Residual aneurysm

  2. Morbidity Rate

    Time frame: 6 months

    Patients with mRS>2

  3. Mortality Rate

    Time frame: 6 months

    Deaths within 6 months after treatment
