Abstract

Surgical and anesthetic management in patients with complex vascular lesions is often challenging. Cardiopulmonary bypass followed by total circulatory arrest, deep hypothermia and barbiturate cerebral protection are efficacious adjuncts in the surgical treatment of giant basilar artery aneurysm. These techniques were utillized in two large basilar artery aneurysm patients with good results, and the surgical and anesthetic considerations are reviewed.
