Incomplete Clipping Resulting from Scissoring of the Clip Blades during Treatment of a Large Atheromatous Aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cerebral aneurysm 'clip scissoring' phenomenon resulting from clip blade twisting is an unpredictable surgical complication. Additionally, incomplete clipping resulting from the presence of an atherosclerotic wall in the neck of the aneurysm can also cause unforeseen problems. Here, the authors present an unusual case of incomplete clipping of a large, atheromatous aneurysm resulting from clip scissoring, which was treated with additional endovascular coiling.

Clip blade scissoring with titanium bayonet clip in aneurysm surgery. Two case reports.
Scissoring of the cerebral aneurysm clip blades is a rare but potentially devastating complication of clipping surgery and results in aneurysm neck injury inducing rupture and/or cerebral infarction. Scissoring has been reported using titanium straight clips. Here we present two unusual cases of crossing of the blades of titanium bayonet clips by a scissors-like mechanism during surgery. The pr...
متن کاملComplete neck clipping of internal carotid-posterior communicating artery aneurysms using bayonet-shaped aneurysm clips: technical note.
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...
متن کاملSimulation of the surgical manipulation involved in clipping a basilar artery aneurysm: concepts of virtual clipping. Technical note.
Despite recent advances in three-dimensional imaging based on a voxel-rendering method, these techniques do not simulate the morphological changes that occur during surgery. The authors' goal was to develop a computer-graphics model to simulate the manipulation that occurs during surgery when clipping a cerebral aneurysm. The authors developed an application program to interpolate the contours ...
متن کاملChronology of blood pressure changes in renal hypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in the rat
The objective of this study was to determine the chronology of changes in blood pressure in renalhypertension induced by solid plexiglass clips in rats. Saw blades with the thickness of 0.21-0.22 mm wereused to make clips sized 4 × 2 × 2 mm from a piece of 2-mm thick plexiglass. Rats were subjected to shamoperation or left renal arterial clipping, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks later blood pressure, a...
متن کاملNear-infrared indocyanine green video angiography in aneurysm surgery.
The most important goal of a vascular neurosurgeon during an intracranial aneurysm clipping is achieving complete exclusion of the aneurysm from the circulation with preservation of blood flow distal to the aneurysm. Occlusion of the parent vessel or distal branches due to improper clip application has been a significant factor in the poor outcome. Similarly, incomplete clipping of an aneurysm ...
