Randomized, prospective, multicenter trial assessing the numen coil embolization system in the endovascular treatment of small intracranial aneurysms: outcomes from the CATCH Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The CATCH (Coil Application Trial in China) trial was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Numen Coil Embolization System in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms in comparison with the Axium coil (ev3/Medtronic). Although the endovascular treatment of small (< 5 mm) intracranial aneurysms has been reported with favorable long-term clinical and angiographic outcomes, randomized trials are still lacking. Data for aneurysms smaller than 5 mm were extracted from the CATCH trial.

Materials and methods

A randomized, prospective, multicenter trial was conducted at ten centers throughout China. Enrolled subjects with small intracranial aneurysms were randomly assigned to receive treatment with the Numen Coil or the Axium coil. The primary outco
