Cerebral aneurysm clipping is a surgical procedure to treat brain aneurysms and prevent potentially life-threatening rupture.
About the Procedure
During aneurysm clipping:
- A small opening is made in the skull (craniotomy)
- The aneurysm is located using microscopic visualization
- A tiny titanium clip is placed at the base of the aneurysm
- This stops blood flow into the aneurysm, preventing rupture
Benefits of Surgical Clipping
- Durable, long-lasting treatment
- Complete elimination of aneurysm in most cases
- Lower re-treatment rates compared to some alternatives
- Can treat aneurysms not suitable for endovascular therapy
