The use of cardiopulmonary bypass with profound hypothermia and circulatory arrest during the surgical treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms.
The surgical treatment of giant intracranial aneurysms can be aided by using cardiopulmonary bypass to provide hypotension under hypothermic conditions.  Cardiopulmonary techniques need to be modified to deal with the problems that arise during this type of neurosurgery.
