    Abstract:
    Trapping and EC-IC bypass surgery was performed for two cases of internal carotid aneurysm using the radial artery as bypass material. Neither case has any permanent neurological deficit because of an adequate blood supply via the radial artery graft bypass. Although the radial artery graft has been in common use among cardiac surgeons, it is still rare in the neurosurgical field. The advantage of the radial artery is discussed with comparison to other graft materials such as saphenous vein and superficial temporal artery. In properly selected cases, the radial artery graft is efficient in preventing the ischemic damage caused by trapping of aneurysm at the main arterial trunk.
