Abstract
-
Brain retraction, aneurysm dissection, and proper neck clipping without compromise of perforating vessel are essential procedures for successful aneurysm surgery. One method of facilitating aneurysm dissection and preventing premature aneurysmal rupture is temporary occlusion of the parent artery. This review included a variety of intraoperative electrophysiological and hemodynamic monitoring related to mainly temporary vessel occlusion during aneurysm surgery.
