Humanitarian Device. Authorized by federal law for use with neurovascular embolic coils in patients who are ≥ 18 years of age for the treatment of wide neck, intracranial, saccular aneurysms arising from a parent vessel with a diameter of ≥ 2 mm and ≤ 4.5 mm that are not amenable to treatment with surgical clipping. Wide neck aneurysms are defined as having a neck ≥ 4 mm or a dome-to-neck ratio < 2. The effectiveness of this device for this use has not been demonstrated.

Stryker completed enrollment of the anterior arm of the Neuroform Atlas US IDE clinical trial earlier this year while enrollment continues for the posterior arm. This important trial represents the largest data set on adjunctive stent use with intracranial aneurysm coiling and reflects Stryker's commitment to clinical leadership within the neurovascular space.
