Aneurysm Microsurgical Clipping Surgery
The more established method of treating aneurysms is microsurgical clipping.
During microsurgical clipping, a small metal clip is used to stop blood flow into the aneurysm. A craniotomy is performed to create an opening in the skull to reach the aneurysm in the brain. The clip is placed on the neck (opening) of the aneurysm to obstruct the flow of blood, and remains inside the brain.
