    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Medical Devices

    Background:

    • Large aneurysms pose significant surgical challenges.
    • Standard clipping techniques can be risky for giant aneurysms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel technique for safer clipping of large aneurysms.
    • To introduce suction decompression as an adjunct to aneurysm surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Puncturing large aneurysms with a No. 21 scalp vein needle.
    • Connecting the needle to an operating room suction device.
    • Utilizing suction to decompress the aneurysm before clipping.

    Main Results:

    • The technique resulted in aneurysm relaxation.
