About this trial

The protocol has many assets. A prospective nationwide recruitment allows for the inclusion of a large cohort of patients with UIA. It will combine accurate clinical phenotyping and comprehensive imaging with CAWE screening. Besides, it will enable to exploit metadata and to explore new pathophysiological pathways of interest by crossing clinical, genetic, biological, and imaging information.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Subject carrying unruptured, asymptomatic and untreated typical IA of bifurcation, measured on conventional imaging (MRI, CTA or DSA) between 3 and 7 mm of larger diameter.

Ability to be followed-up during 3 years decided in consensus multidisciplinary gathering.

Age > 18 years old.

Disqualifiers

A failure to obtain informed consent

Contraindications for undergoing an MRI scan include : (heart pacemaker, a metallic foreign body (metal sliver) in their eye, or aneurysm clip in their brain, severe claustrophobia)
