Aneurysmal Clipping

Aneurysmal Clipping

What is Aneurysmal Clipping ?

An aneurysm is a bulge in the artery caused by a weak/damaged atrial wall. An aneurismal clipping is an open surgical intervention procedure where a clip made of titanium or a surgically non-toxic metal is placed at the neck of this aneurysm to prevent further damage to vital structures. This process is generally done by a neurosurgeon for brain aneurysms. The clip acts as a barrier between the blood vessel and the aneurysm, halting the growth of it. The clipping procedure depends on the size, geometry, favorability, accessibility and the anatomy of the aneurysm.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • The process is performed under General Anesthesia. The patient will be moved to the observation ward and kept on pre-operative protocols from the night before.
  • A craniotomy cut is made in the skull and the tissues dissected.
  • The aneurysm is then visualized and assessed. After maneuvering the adjacent structures into an operatable position, the clip is opened and placed on the aneurysm.
  • The clip is generally placed at the neck of the aneurysm or at the junction of the artery. There are different clips based on the size of the aneurysm.
  • Closure is done in layers under sterile protocols and dressing is done. General anesthesia is stopped and the intubation removed.
  • The patient is advised to be on bed rest for at least 3-4 days after the procedure. The patient may be kept on IV support for regular nutrition and hydration.

Atrial septostomy

It is a surgical procedure in which a small hole or gap is created between the two upper chambers of the heart called the atria. This procedure is done in children or adults with atrial septal defects or atrial transposition.It increases the oxygenation ability by allowing the atrial to pump blood properly. The hole is made using a catheter under general anaesthesia.

Atherectomy

It is a minimally invasive treatment procedure for people suffering from atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the condition where the arteries get accumulated with a plaque material (generally fat and calcium build up) resulting in decreased blood flow through the vessels. In atherectomy, a thin catheter with a blade attached to its end is inserted into the arteries and the plaque is removed.

Balloon Valvuloplasty

It is the treatment procedure for conditions where the heart doors or valves have narrow openings. This leads to decreased blood flow from the auricles to the ventricles resulting in low blood flow to the remaining parts of the body. In a valvuloplasty procedure, a balloon catheter is inserted into the heart valves which cause the valves to expand in size, resulting in adequate blood flow.
