Surgical Clipping of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm: Experience of a Tertiary Centre in Western India

Abstract

Background Surgical clipping has been a gold standard procedure for management of intracranial aneurysms. Outcome studies of surgical clipping at institutional level are important to identify modifiable factors and further improve the results. These are even more important in areas where resources are limited, and patient presents late due to ignorance and lack of education. This study is a review of our institutional experience in microsurgical clipping of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.
