Blade-deviated fenestrated clips for anterior communicating artery aneurysms.
Blade-deviated fenestrated clips developed by one of the authors were applied very successfully in 15 cases of A Com A aneurysms which corresponded to 32% of the aneurysms upon which were operated. Of the 15, 13 cases were projected superiorly, which is the most difficult and hazardous type if ruptured at the neck. The characteristic feature of the clip is the lateral deviation of occluding blades. The superiorly projecting type A Com A aneurysm is located posterolateral to the A Com A in the operative field, and the clips were extremely useful in the aneurysms in providing safer and more exact occlusion via parallel closure of the A Com A or the aneurysm neck.
