Adults with an unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA) who are not undergoing preventive occlusion. The protocol focuses on reducing modifiable vascular risk — specifically elevated blood pressure and tobacco use.
The protocol targets specific modifiable risk factors identified in this patient group. Interventions address cardiovascular risk reduction — the complete criteria, patient-specific guidance, and monitoring requirements are in the full protocol.
In patients who do not undergo preventive occlusion, the primary measurable goal is:
