  • Title: A brief history of aneurysm clips.
    Author: Louw DF, Asfora WT, Sutherland GR.
    Journal: Neurosurg Focus; 2001 Aug 15; 11(2):E4. PubMed ID: 16602677.
    Abstract:
    In this communication the authors outline the development of aneurysm clips from those originally used by Walter Dandy to those currently in use. The history is rich in contributions from neurosurgical pioneers and innovators. As a result, the modern neurosurgeon has a wide selection of biocompatible aneurysm clips with known closing pressure, of variable sizes and shapes, and a selection of clip applicators that do not obstruct the surgical field.
