Recording of a brain aneurysm clipping by Vik Udani, MD, Division of Neurosurgery, Senta Clinic, San Diego, CA. Patient is a 38-year-old female with a history of hypertension and migraines. She was found to have an 8mm unruptured right middle cerebral artery aneurysm and underwent a right frontal temporal craniotomomy for aneurysm clipping.
I am still a nurse but my main aim is too study medicine. So I am very interested in anatomy. My question is how is it possible that the surgeon cut off some vessels? Is the circulatory system so well developed that it doesn’t matter if some vessels are cut off?
I had this same question as well. I believe it had something to do with cauterizing the M2 artery? I'm probably wrong though.
