  • Title: Clipping Surgery for Paraclinoid Carotid Aneurysm.
    Author: Horiuchi T, Yamamoto Y, Suzuki Y, Kobayashi M, Ichinose S, Hongo K.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir Suppl; 2016; 123():27-32. PubMed ID: 27637625.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Paraclinoid carotid aneurysm is widely treated with coil embolization. However, all paraclinoid carotid aneurysms cannot be obliterated by the endovascular approach. METHODS: Our direct surgical procedure was presented. The clinical data of surgically treated paraclinoid carotid aneurysms were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: One hundred ninety paraclinoid carotid aneurysms in 181 patients were directly obliterated at the Shinshu University Hospital and its affiliated hospitals between 1991 and 2013. CONCLUSIONS: Direct surgical repair of the paraclinoid carotid aneurysm is still useful, even in the era of endovascular treatment.
