Abstract: | BACKGROUND: We describe techniques combining wrapping and clipping using a collagen-impregnated Dacron knitted fabric (Hemashield) for accidental arterial perforations and broad-based aneurysms. The results of these techniques in seven patients are presented. METHODS: Clip-reinforced wrapping was performed to obtain hemostasis in two patients with arterial perforations and in a patient with a ruptured broad-based aneurysm in the internal carotid artery. Clipping of the broad neck of the aneurysm and wrapping with Hemashield (wrap-clipping) was performed in four patients with unruptured aneurysms (one internal carotid artery, two middle cerebral artery, one basilar artery). RESULTS: In the three patients treated with clip-reinforced wrapping, complete hemostasis was obtained just after clip application. In the patient with a ruptured broad-based aneurysm, postoperative angiography demonstrated that the dome of the aneurysm was well compressed. In the four patients treated with wrap-clipping, postoperative angiography revealed successful clipping of the broad neck of the aneurysm. CONCLUSION: In this early experience, there were no problems in the use of Hemashield for clip-reinforced wrapping or wrap-clipping. |
