The Surpass Intracranial Aneurysm Embolization System Pivotal Trial to Treat Large or Giant Wide Neck Aneurysms (SCENT Trial)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Surpass Flow Diverter for Brain Aneurysm. Completed, enrolled 213 participants across 26 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
This clinical research study is designed to determine safety and effectiveness of the Surpass Flow Diverter (Surpass System), an investigational device developed to treat wide-neck, large or giant intracranial aneurysms. An intracranial aneurysm is a bulge in the wall of a blood vessel in the brain. The bulge is caused by a weakening of the vessel wall. If left untreated, the bulge may continue to grow larger and ultimately the vessel may break open (rupture), resulting in serious bleeding into or around the brain. The information collected from this study will be used to evaluate how well patients do when treated with the Surpass System both immediately after treatment of an aneurysm and over a long period of time (5 years).

Interventions
Treatment of an intracranial aneurysm involves the placement of a specially designed metallic mesh tube in a vessel in the brain where an aneurysm is located. The device looks like a fishnet sock with both ends open. Each device is delivered through a small catheter (a long, flexible tube). The catheter containing the device is inserted and advanced into a vessel in the brain. The device is then placed in the brain vessel by releasing it from the catheter. Once the device is placed inside the brain vessel, it is intended to reinforce the area of the vessel that is weakened and bulging (the aneurysm), and to cause blood to flow down the vessel and away from the aneurysm while allowing blood in the aneurysm to clot. This procedure is called an endovascular aneurysm treatment because the device is delivered through the blood vessels.
