- Device: Contour Neurovascular System
Endovascular embolization of wide-necked, bifurcated saccular intracranial aneurysms.
- Primary Safety Endpoint: Death or stroke within 30 days of treatment or ipsilateral stroke or neurological death between 30 days and 1 year. [ Time Frame: 30 days ]Death or stroke within 30 days of treatment or ipsilateral stroke or neurological death between 30 days and 1 year.
- Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Complete occlusion of the aneurysm with Contour without retreatment, recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage, or significant parent artery stenosis at one (1) year after treatment as assessed by the angiographic core laboratory. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Complete occlusion of the aneurysm with Contour as defined by complete aneurysm occlusion (Raymond Roy Scale , of 1) without retreatment, recurrent subarachnoid hemorrhage, or significant parent artery stenosis (> 50% stenosis) at one (1) year after treatment as assessed by the angiographic core laboratory.
- Key Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint: The trial's secondary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with angiographic aneurysmal recurrence defined as aneurysm growth or recanalization at one (1) year after treatment. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]The trial's secondary endpoint is the proportion of subjects with angiographic aneurysmal recurrence defined as aneurysm growth or recanalization at one (1) year after treatment.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient is 18-75 years of age at the time of screening.
- Patient has a single ruptured or unruptured IA requiring treatment. If the patient has an additional IA requiring treatment, the additional IA must not require treatment within 60 days of the index procedure.
-
The target IA must have the following characteristics:
- Saccular morphology
- Located at a bifurcation in the anterior or posterior circulation
- Aneurysm neck diameter between 2 and 10 mm and aneurysm equatorial diameter between 2 and 10.5 mm
- Wide-necked, defined as neck size ≥ 4 mm or a dome/neck ratio < 2
- Patient may be treated with Contour without the use of additional implanted devices.
- Patient is able to comply with all aspects of the screening, evaluation, treatment, and the post-procedure follow-up schedule.
-
Patient or legally authorized representative has signed and dated an institutional review board (IRB)/Ethics Committee (EC)-approved written informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures.
FOR PATIENTS WITH UNRUPTURED ANEURYSM
- Patient meets the criteria outlined in the "Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysms" as published by the AHA/ASA FOR PATIENTS WITH RUPTURED ANEURYSM
- Patient meets the criteria outlined in the "Guidelines for the Management of Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Guideline for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association" as published by the AHA/ASA.
- Patient must be neurologically stable with Hunt & Hess Score of I, II or III.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Anatomy or physiology considered unsuitable for endovascular treatment with the Contour device by the implanting physician and/or the Patient Selection Committee
- Target IA contains other devices/implants (e.g., coils) that could interfere with the correct placement of the Contour device
- Subject has a known, untreatable hypersensitivity to contrast dye, iodine, or any component of the treatment device.
- Contraindication to anticoagulants or anti-platelet medications
- Stenosis of the target IA's parent vessel is >50%
- Anticoagulation medications (e.g., warfarin) that cannot be discontinued
- Acute / chronic renal failure (unless on dialysis) and/or creatinine > 2.00 mg/dl or > 182 μmol/L
- Vascular disease or other vascular anomaly that precluded the necessary access to the aneurysm for use of the study device.
- Clinical, angiographic or CT evidence of vasospasm, vasculitis, an intracranial tumor (except small meningioma) or any other intracranial vascular malformations on presentation.
- Conditions placing them at high risk for ischemic stroke or had exhibited ischemic symptoms such as transient ischemic attacks, minor strokes, or stroke-in-evolution within the prior 60-days.
- Any circulatory, neurovascular, cardiovascular, or neurologic conditions that can result in unstable neurological symptoms (e.g., multiple sclerosis, established seizure disorder).
- modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≥ 2 prior to presentation or rupture (as applicable).
- SAH from a non-index aneurysm or any other intracranial hemorrhage within 90 days.
- Physical, neurologic or psychiatric conditions which precluded his/her ability to comply with all aspects of the screening, evaluation, treatment, and the post-procedure follow-up schedule.
- Pregnant, breastfeeding or planning pregnancy in the next 2 years
- Subject is enrolled in another device or drug study in which participation could confound study results.
- Life expectancy of less than 2 years due to an illness or condition other than the index intracranial aneurysm.
