Abstract:
Patients with anterior cerebral artery aneurysm (ACA) make up one third of all those presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage. Aneurysms in this location may be subclassified according to their projection in relationship to the proximal ACA, distal ACA, and anterior communicating artery. These lesions exhibit a great variation in morphology, size, projection, and relationship with efferent and afferent vasculature. This focus eliminates unnecessary operative manipulation and prepares the surgeon for any crisis that might arise. With this concept in mind, the author has tried to convey my insights into the operative techniques for successful clipping of ACA aneurysm.
