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).

Evidence & Reference Standards

Our neurosurgery pathways align with international neurological-surgery societies:

AANS · United States
Clinical Guidelines & Standards
Evidence-graded recommendations for tumour, vascular and functional neurosurgery applied to every neuro plan we coordinate.
CNS · United States
Congress of Neurological Surgeons Guidelines
Joint guideline series with AANS covering trauma, spine and cerebrovascular surgery — referenced in our pre-op planning.
WFNS · International
World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies
International standard-setting body for neurosurgical training and practice — anchors the credentialing we look for in partner surgeons.
Comparator · Reference
Mayo Clinic Neurosurgery
Top-ranked U.S. neurosurgery programme; our partner centres match equipment (intra-op MRI, gamma knife) at a fraction of U.S. self-pay pricing.
