Design outcomes

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Complete Occlusion of the Target Aneurysm and ≤50% Stenosis of the Parent Artery and an Alternative Treatment of the Target Intracranial Aneurysm (IA) Had Not Been Performed Within 12 Months12 monthsThe primary effectiveness endpoint has three components: 1) complete occlusion of the target aneurysm assessed by a core laboratory utilizing the Raymond-Roy Scale 2) ≤ 50% stenosis of the parent artery at the target (IA) using the Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease(WASID) criterion which is defined as greater than 50% luminal loss, 3) alternative treatment of the target IA is defined as re-treatment of the target aneurysm with an alternative treatment modality including open repair, endovascular placement of an additional stent or treatment of In-stent Stenosis observed. The Raymond-Roy Occlusion Classification has 3 responses, where Grade I is complete occlusion, no flow of contrast seen in the sac, Grade II is partial occlusion, some flow in the neck or sac, and Grade III is incomplete occlusion, apparent flow into the sac. Grade 1 indicates the best outcome.
Percentage of Participants Who Experience Neurological Death or Major Ipsilateral Stroke Measured by the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)12 monthsA major stroke is defined as a new neurological event that persists for \> 24 hours and results in a ≥ 4 points increase in the NIHSS score compared to baseline or compared to any subsequent lower score. A major ipsilateral stroke is defined as that occurring within the vascular distribution of the stented artery. Neurologic death is defined as a death which has been adjudicated by the independent clinical events committee to have directly resulted from a neurologic cause.The NIHSS score ranges from 0 (no stroke symptoms) to 42 (severe stroke). mRS is 6 point assessment scale used to assess disability in patients who have suffered a stroke and is compared over time to check for recovery and degree of continued disability. The mRS score ranges from 0 (no disability) to 6 (death).

Percentage of Participants Who Experience Neurological Death or Major Ipsilateral Stroke Measured by the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

A major stroke is defined as a new neurological event that persists for \> 24 hours and results in a ≥ 4 points increase in the NIHSS score compared to baseline or compared to any subsequent lower score. A major ipsilateral stroke is defined as that occurring within the vascular distribution of the stented artery. Neurologic death is defined as a death which has been adjudicated by the independent clinical events committee to have directly resulted from a neurologic cause.The NIHSS score ranges from 0 (no stroke symptoms) to 42 (severe stroke). mRS is 6 point assessment scale used to assess disability in patients who have suffered a stroke and is compared over time to check for recovery and degree of continued disability.
