Surgical treatment of blood blister–like aneurysms of the supraclinoid internal carotid artery with extracranial–intracranial bypass and trapping

Abstract

Treatment of BBAs of the ICA remains difficult, particularly in the setting of high-grade SAH. Patients with this challenging condition often require multiple procedures and have a high incidence of rebleeding. Definitive treatment of these aneurysms consists of EC-IC bypass and surgical or endovascular trapping.
