Clip-reinforced wrapping using the Y-shaped temporalis fascia technique for intracranial aneurysms.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aims to identify the effectiveness of the clip-reinforced wrapping using the Y-shaped temporalis fascia (CRYST) technique for treating intracranial aneurysms (IAs).

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed five patients with ruptured IAs treated using the CRYST technique from July 2016 to May 2021. Three patients had blood blister-like aneurysms (BBAs) (one with intraoperative rupture), and two had anterior communicating artery (AcoA) aneurysms (one with intraoperative rupture). All patients had intraoperative indocyanine green angiography, and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was reviewed 10-14 days after surgery. At 1 year postoperatively, three patients (two BBAs and one AcoA aneurysm) underwent DSA and two patients (one BBA and one AcoA aneurysm) un
