    Booster clips effectively secure primary clips in complex aneurysm repair, showing promise for treating giant aneurysms with minimal complications. This technique aids in managing challenging cerebrovascular cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Interventional Neurology

    Background:

    • Giant aneurysms and thick-walled aneurysms present significant surgical challenges.
    • Traditional clipping methods may require adjuncts for secure closure.

    Observation:

    • Booster clips were employed in 21 aneurysms across 20 patients, representing a substantial portion of giant aneurysm surgeries.
    • The technique involves encircling the primary clip with the booster clip for enhanced fixation.
    • Cerebral blood flow and electroencephalography monitored tolerance to temporary internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion.

    Findings:

    • No complications arose from temporary ICA occlusion, with durations within safe limits.
    • Two patients required reoperation due to clip repositioning for stenosis or occlusion.

  • Most patients (15/20) had normal neurological function post-discharge; three had minor deficits.

    • Implications:

    • Booster clips offer a viable adjunct for securing clips in complex aneurysm repair.
    • The study highlights the safety of temporary ICA occlusion monitoring in managing giant aneurysms.
    • Further research may explore the long-term efficacy and broader application of booster clips.
