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.
