Abstract
A technique utilizing suction decompression of large aneurysms to allow safer application of a clip is described. Large aneurysms are punctured with a No. 21 scalp vein needle attached to the operating room suction device. This procedure causes relaxation of the aneurysm and allows safer application of the clip. The technique was used in 6 cases of giant aneurysms in humans.
