Brain Aneurysm Clipping Surgery .

🛑The goal of surgical clipping is to isolate an aneurysm from the normal circulation without blocking off any small perforating arteries nearby. 📍Under general anesthesia, an opening is made in the skull, called a craniotomy. 📍The brain is gently retracted to locate the aneurysm. 📍A small clip is placed across the base, or neck, of the aneurysm to block the normal blood flow from entering. 📍The clip works like a tiny coil-spring clothespin, in which the blades of the clip remain tightly closed until pressure is applied to open the blades. 📍Clips are made of titanium and remain on the artery permanently.
