[How to Avoid Intraoperative Rupture and What to Do When It Ruptures].

Abstract

Intracranial aneurysm rupture is the main fatal complication of coil embolization for an intracranial aneurysm performed in conjunction with systemic heparinization. We answered five clinical questions about anesthesia, systemic heparinization, intraoperative aneurysmal rupture, the balloon-assisted technique, and the next step of initial response in case of aneurysmal rupture. It is crucial to understand when and why intraoperative aneurysmal rupture occurs to reduce its mortality rate. In cases of intraoperative problems, never pull the microcatheter or coil when perforating an aneurysm; lowering blood pressure, administering protamine for the reversal of heparin, and occluding blood flow into an aneurysm by inflating balloon(s) will help in the treatment. It is our pleasure that this chapter will help in your daily care.
