Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of robotic-assisted endovascular embolization procedures compared to objective performance criteria for traditional, manual operation based on the scientific literature.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, single-arm, international, multi- center, non-inferiority study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the CorPath GRX System for endovascular cerebral aneurysm embolization compared to historical controls. Subject selection requires a clinical indication for endovascular coil and/or stent-assist coiling embolization of cerebral aneurysms.
Interventions
After providing written informed consent, subjects with cerebral aneurysms may have their aneurysm treated using the CorPath GRX System.
