Clipping is a surgical procedure performed to treat an aneurysm. If the aneurysm is intracranial, a craniotomy is performed, and afterwards an Elgiloy (Phynox) or titanium Sugita clip is affixed around the aneurysm's neck. Surgical clipping was introduced by Walter Dandy of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 1937.
Initial attempts to incorporate the clip into applications in endoscopy (such as clipping bleeding blood vessels) were limited by the applicator system of the clip. [1] However, by 1988, an easy to use applicator delivery system was developed, and a functional reloadable endoclip system was described. [ 2 ]
ISAT sought to measure outcomes of cerebral aneurysm patients at 2 and 12 months using a type of a Rankin scale. [4]: 114 The study was prematurely terminated in 2002 after the oversight committee determined there was increased morbidity with surgical clipping compared to endovascular coiling.
