Abstract
ObjectiveAlthough balloon-assisted techniques are valuable in aneurysm clipping, repeated angiography and fluoroscopy are required to understand the location and shape of the balloon. This study investigated the value of visualization balloon occlusion-assisted techniques in aneurysm hybridization procedures.MethodsWe propose a visualization balloon technique that injects methylene blue into the balloon, allowing it to be well visualized under a microscope without repeated angiography. This study retrospects the medical records of 17 large or giant paraclinoid aneurysms treated by a visualization balloon occlusion-assisted technique in a hybrid operating room. Intraoperative surgical techniques, postoperative complications, and immediate and long-term angiographic findings are highlighted.ResultsAll 17 patients had safe and successful aneurysm clipping surgery with complete angiographic occlusion. Under the microscope, the balloon injected with methylene blue is visible through the arterial wall. The position and shape of the balloon can be monitored in real time without repeated angiography and fluoroscopic guidance. Two cases of intraoperative visualization balloon shift and slip into the aneurysm cavity were detected in time, and there were no cases of balloon misclipping or difficult removal. Of 17 patients, four patients (23.5%) experienced short-term complications, including pulmonary infection (11.8%), abducens nerve paralysis (5.9%), and thalamus hemorrhage (5.9%). The rate of vision recovery among patients with previous visual deficits was 70% (7 of 10 patients). The mean follow-up duration was 32.76 months. No aneurysms or neurological deficits recurred among all patients who completed the follow-up.ConclusionOur study indicates that microsurgical clipping with the visualization balloon occlusion-assisted technique seems to be a safe and effective method for patients with large or giant paraclinoid aneurysms to reduce the surgical difficulty and simplify the operation process of microsurgical treatment alone.
