Major stroke is defined as stroke with symptoms persisting for more than 24 hours and a sudden increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of the subject by greater than or equal to (\>=) 4. Major ipsilateral stroke is major stroke in downstream territory.

Number of Participants With Technical Success of Successful Implantation of the PulseRider DeviceUp to 1 yearTechnical success was defined as successful implantation of the PulseRider device- the ability to access the target aneurysm, deploy the device at the aneurysm neck, and detach device successfully. Number of participants with technical success were reported.
Number of Participants With Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-21 yearNumber of participants with modified rankin scale (mRS) 0-2 were reported. The mRS is a scale commonly used to measure the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities in patients following stroke or other neurologic event and is conducted by qualified personnel. It is a scale with six categories ranging from no symptoms to severe disability and death.

Outcome results

Primary

Number of Participants With Complete Aneurysm Occlusion Without Significant Parent Artery Stenosis or Prior Retreatment Through 1 Year Post-Procedure

Number of participants with complete aneurysm occlusion (Raymond I: complete occlusion) without significant parent artery stenosis (greater than \[\>\] 50 percent \[%\] stenosis) or prior retreatment through 1-year post procedure were reported.

Time frame: Up to 1 year post procedure

Population: The Per Protocol (PP) analysis set is defined as all participants successfully implanted with the PulseRider device with no major protocol deviations. Here, N (number of participants analyzed) signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

Percentage of Participants With Occurrence of Neurological Death or Major Ipsilateral Stroke in Downstream Territory up to 1 Year Post-procedure Per Clinical Events Committee (CEC)

Percentage of participants with occurrence of neurological death or major ipsilateral stroke in downstream territory up to 1 year post-procedure per CEC were reported. Major stroke is defined as stroke with symptoms persisting for more than 24 hours and a sudden increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of the subject by greater than or equal to (\>=) 4. Major ipsilateral stroke is major stroke in downstream territory.

Time frame: Up to 1 year post procedure

Population: The modified intent to treat (mITT) analysis set is defined as all enrolled participants in whom treatment with the PulseRider device was attempted as defined by advancement of any portion of the PulseRider device outside of the distal end of the microcatheter inside the participant. Here, N (number of participants analyzed) defined as participants evaluable for this outcome measure.
