Seven Aneurysms : Tenets and Techniques for Clipping

The art of aneurysm microsurgery in a beautifully illustrated, step-by-step volume

Seven Aneurysms: Tenets and Techniques for Clipping combines the instructive nature of a textbook with the visual
aspects of an atlas to guide readers through the surgical principles, approaches, and techniques they need to dissect
and clip cerebral aneurysms.

Comprised of three concise sections, the book distills the distinguished author's vast experience into a series of
easily accessible tutorials presented through clear, systematic descriptions and stunning, full-color illustrations.
The first section explains the critical concepts and basic tenets of aneurysm microsurgery followed by a section on the
various craniotomies and exposures necessary for successful clipping. The final section covers microsurgical anatomy,
dissection strategies, and clipping techniques for each of the seven most common aneurysm types that are the focus of
this book.

Features

Strategies for handling the seven aneurysms most often seen by neurosurgeons: PCoA, MCA, ACoA, OphA, PcaA, basilar
bifurcation, and PICA
383 full-color surgical photographs demonstrate operative techniques; 77 high-quality drawings display anatomy and
spatial relationships
Succinct text facilitates quick reading and easy reference

Clipping remains an essential treatment method for the most frequently encountered aneurysms. This must-have guide will
enable neurosurgery residents, fellows, or practicing neurosurgeons to handle the majority of the aneurysms they will
encounter with confidence and poise.
