Cotton-clipping technique to repair intraoperative aneurysm neck tear: a technical note.
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Intraoperative rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a potentially devastating but avoidable and manageable complication of aneurysm surgery. OBJECTIVE To describe a surgical technique that the authors have used successfully to repair a tear at the neck of an intracranial aneurysm, as well as alternative options for managing this intraoperative complication. METHODS The tear on the neck of the aneurysm is covered with a small piece of free cotton and held in place with a suction device to clear the field of blood. The cotton is then clipped onto the tear with an aneurysm clip, using the cotton as a bolster to obliterate the tear. The cotton increases the surface area, allowing the clip to be placed more distally on the neck to preserve patency of the parent artery. Case examples are used to illustrate the technique. RESULTS Both authors independently have used this technique on several occasions to successfully repair tears at the neck of an aneurysm. CONCLUSION Intraoperative rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a potentially devastating complication, particularly if a tear occurs at the neck. This simple yet effective method has been very useful in repairing a partial avulsion or tear of the neck of an aneurysm.

Neck clipping for internal carotid-posterior communicating artery (IC-PC) aneurysms using standard straight, angled, or curved clip may result in remnant aneurysm neck. We describe complete neck clipping of IC-PC aneurysms using a bayonet-shaped clip. The bayonet-shaped clip is applied perpendicular to the long axis of the internal carotid artery (ICA), and the blades of the clip are inserted b...

MCA aneurysms comprise 20% to 25% of intracranial aneurysms.Majority of middle cerebral artery aneurysms are treated with microsurgical clipping. Most of the classifications are based on size, location or pathology which are effective for description but are less useful in preoperative planning and also in deciding the technique or type of clip application. The aim of our study was to study the...
