Core Tip

Core Tip: We retrospectively analyzed 12 cases of large or giant intracranial carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms treated in a hybrid operating room (Hybrid-OR) at our hospital. We aimed to explore and summarize the technical features and effectiveness of a Hybrid-OR in treating major intracranial carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms. The Hybrid-OR provides new ideas for the surgical clipping of large or giant intracranial carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms and decreases the rate of intraoperative vessel stenosis and unsuccessful clipping.
