title: Proximal ligation of the anterior cerebral artery for the treatment of the anterior communicating aneurysms.
abstract: Forty-six patients with aneurysms of the anterior communicating complex, have been operated on in our clinic, by proximal ligation of the anterior cerebral artery. All but two are back at their previous employment and two deaths have been reported. We feel that this operation should still retain a place in the treatment of these aneurysms, if cases are carefully selected.
