Procedure Steps

Pre-op: DSA + 3D rotational angiography for sizing

General anesthesia (or conscious sedation in select cases)

Femoral artery puncture + 6F guide catheter to ICA/VA

Microcatheter navigation into aneurysm sac

Sequential platinum coil deployment (framing → filling → finishing)

Balloon-assist or stent-assist for wide-neck aneurysms

Final angiography to confirm complete occlusion

Hemostasis at access site + dual antiplatelet if stent used

What is Endovascular Coiling?

Through a catheter advanced from the femoral artery to the brain, soft platinum coils are deployed inside the aneurysm sac, packing it with thrombogenic material that excludes it from circulation. No skull opening required.

Why China?

High volume: Tiantan, Huashan, Xijing perform 2,000+ coilings/year
Cost: $13,000-$22,000 vs. $50,000-$100,000 in the US
Flow diverters available: Pipeline, Tubridge, FRED for giant/fusiform aneurysms
Stent-assist: Atlas, LVIS, Neuroform stents — same as Western centers

Who is a candidate?

Ruptured aneurysm in surgically difficult location (posterior circulation)
Unruptured aneurysm with favorable neck-to-dome ratio
Patient unfit for craniotomy
Multiple aneurysms (staged endovascular treatment)

Outcomes

Complete occlusion: 70-85% initially. Recanalization: 10-20% requiring re-treatment. Mortality unruptured: <1%. Outcomes for ruptured (ISAT): better neurological outcome than clipping at 1 year.

Procedure Steps

Pre-op: cerebral angiography (DSA) or CTA + neuro exam

General anesthesia + Mayfield head fixation

Pterional or interhemispheric craniotomy based on aneurysm location

Microscope-assisted Sylvian fissure dissection

Proximal vascular control + temporary clipping if needed

Permanent titanium clip across aneurysm neck

Indocyanine green angiography to confirm patency of parent vessel

Bone flap replacement + scalp closure

What is Aneurysm Clipping?

Microsurgical clipping places a small titanium clip across the neck of a brain aneurysm, permanently isolating it from the cerebral circulation. It is the definitive durable treatment for ruptured and unruptured aneurysms in suitable anatomy.

Why China?

Tiantan Hospital: Asia's largest neurosurgery center — 3,000+ aneurysm cases/year
Cost: $14,000-$22,000 vs. $60,000-$120,000 in the US
ICG angiography standard: Real-time vessel patency confirmation
Complex aneurysms: Bypass + trapping for giant aneurysms at expert centers

Who is a candidate?

Unruptured aneurysm ≥7mm or with high-risk features
Ruptured aneurysm (SAH) suitable for surgical access
Complex aneurysms unsuitable for coiling (wide neck, branches)
Failed prior endovascular treatment

Outcomes

Complete occlusion: >95% (durable lifetime). Mortality unruptured: <1%. Mortality ruptured: 5-10% (depends on Hunt-Hess grade). Recurrence rate: <2% at 10 years (vs 10-20% coiling).
