Abstract

We report on two patients with intra-operative rupture of cerebral aneurysms that were managed by microsuturing. This is one of only a few reports of successful direct repair using suturing. We found that stitching remains an option to repair a tear of a saccular part of an aneurysm and a torn neck of a blister-like aneurysm, and thus this technique can be considered before sacrificing the artery.
