Carotid artery aneurysms: another approach to therapy.
A patient had a large internal carotid artery aneurysm with extension to the base of the skull. Resection and reconstitution of flow was thought to be hazardous because of the difficulty in obtaining distal control. After assessment of collateral flow to the brain, placement of a Selverstone clamp resulted in gradual occlusion of the aneurysm. The aneurysm was subsequently resected.
