[Forced permanent clipping of the internal carotid artery in operations for cerebral arterial aneurysms].
Incidence, causes and results of permanent ICA clipping during arterial cerebral aneurysm surgery were analyzed in randomized group of 470 patients. Permanent ICA clipping was performed in 6 cases (1.3% of all surgeries). The causes of permanent ICA clipping were ICA wall rupture in 4 (0.9%) cases, bleeding from aneurysms of the ophthalmic segment of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in 2 (0.4%). Atherosclerotic changes of ICA were found and verified by biopsy in all cases of ICA rupture. Two variants of rupture were identified. ICA aneurysm avulsion from the artery in the area of aneurysmal neck with vascular wall defect development in 2 (0.6%) cases; in the second variant, ICA rupture was caused by frontal lobe traction. In the study group aneurysms of ophthalmic segment of ICA were found in 19 cases: intraoperative bleeding rate was 31% (6 cases). ICA was clipped in 33% of all cases of intraoperative bleeding. Among 6 patients with permanent ICA clipping, 5 died. Deaths were caused by cerebral infarction in 4 cases and acute blood loss in 1 case.
