Endovascular-Vascular Course for Residents-Posterior Circulation Aneurysm Surgery

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the treatment of posterior circulation aneurysms. They explain that these aneurysms are becoming less common, and the treatment requires significant knowledge and experience. The speaker emphasizes the importance of endovascular technology in treating these aneurysms, as it allows for better results than traditional clipping methods. They also discuss the different approaches to accessing the posterior circulation, including upper and lower basilar, mid-basilar, and pica aneurysms. The speaker highlights the importance of proper exposure and control during surgery, as well as the potential need for bypass procedures. They also discuss the challenges and risks associated with treating posterior circulation aneurysms, such as cranial nerve damage and stroke. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the need for continued practice and learning to improve surgical outcomes in treating these complex aneurysms.
