Seven Aneurysms. Tenets and Techniques for Clipping

Description

Endovascular therapy has changed the practice of vascular neurosurgery. As the number of aneurysms treated with endovascular techniques rather than with open microsurgery increases steadily, there will be fewer vascular neurosurgeons, diminishing expertise, and the possibility of losing a surgical art. This textbook is dedicated to preserving the art of aneurysm clipping, describing in detail techniques for clipping the seven most common aneurysms. The book is designed to impart to future generations of neurosurgeons, who may not have the same open surgical opportunities, technical pearls to guide them in clipping at least the seven most common aneurysms when necessary and with confidence.

The book is designed to break down the technical steps and details required to operate on these basic aneurysms. Each chapter presents relevant surgical anatomy, technical pearls for effective dissection, and endovascular perspectives discussing which endovascular techniques might be helpful or better. The reader will also benefit from case examples offering invaluable insight into decision-making processes and practical issues.
