  • Title: Microsuture repair of intra-operative ruptures of cerebral aneurysms of the internal carotid artery.
    Author: Vashu R, Tan S, Wong AS.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2009 Jul; 16(7):960-2. PubMed ID: 19346131.
    Abstract:
    We report on two patients with intra-operative rupture of cerebral aneurysms that were managed by microsuturing. This is one of only a few reports of successful direct repair using suturing. We found that stitching remains an option to repair a tear of a saccular part of an aneurysm and a torn neck of a blister-like aneurysm, and thus this technique can be considered before sacrificing the artery.
