Two cases of aneurysmatic vascular lesions (a large cranio-encephalic angiodysplasia with arterio-venous communications and a post-traumatic aneurysm of the vertebral artery) are reported; both were of a very difficult surgical approach and were successfully treated with the use of extra-corporeal circulation. The partial cardiopulmonary bypass, with femoro-femoral cannulation, allowed complete recovery of the lost blood, controlled hypotension, and a certain degree of hypothermia. These factors were decisive for the good outcome of the operations.
