COMBINED USE OF ENDOVASCULAR COILS AND SURGICAL CLIPPING FOR INTRACRANIAL ANEURYSMS AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEURORADIOLOGY Marks, M. P., Steinberg, G. K., Lane, B. 1995; 16 (1): 15-18

Abstract

We report two cases in which combined surgical clipping and endovascular coils have been used to treat intracranial aneurysms. In one case, a 59-year-old woman with multiple episodes of subarachnoid hemorrhage had an anterior communicating artery aneurysm, which was initially treated with coils and then clipped to occlude the aneurysm securely. In the second case, a broad-based cavernous aneurysm could not be completely surgically occluded, but surgical clipping did decrease the aneurysm neck size, allowing it to be successfully treated with coils.
