  • Title: Extracorporeal circuit design considerations for giant intracranial aneurysm repair.
    Author: MacDonald JL, Cleland AG, Mayer RL, Henderson MJ.
    Journal: Perfusion; 1997 May; 12(3):193-6. PubMed ID: 9226708.
    Abstract:
    Clinical perfusionists must be able to modify the existing extracorporeal circuit in order to accommodate a specific surgical pathology. The clipping of a giant intracranial middle cerebral artery aneurysm, unapproachable with conventional neurosurgical techniques, required the use of a modified closed cardiopulmonary bypass circuit combined with deep hypothermia and total circulatory arrest. In-hospital discussions with anaesthesia, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, and cardiology enabled an informed team approach directed towards the successful treatment of this complex neurosurgical lesion.
