Abstract:
An aneurysm in the intracavernous portion was treated with EIAB and gradual ligation of ICA. Carotid ligation historically has been successful in controlling the mass effects from an aneurysm and in minimizing the risk of an acute, recurrent SAH. However, ICA ligation alone carries a higher risk, esp, ischemic complication. In an attempt to minimize these ischemic complications, EIAB procedure was added to the ICA ligation for the treatment of inoperable or inaccessible aneurysm.
