In a previous survey, we found a high incidence of fatal rupture of an unclipped aneurysm in patients with multiple aneurysms. To deal with this problem, we introduced a more vigorous technique that accesses aneurysms previously considered unapproachable during one operating session. Attempts were made to clip middle cerebral and ophthalmic aneurysms contralateral to the operative exposure. We have successfully clipped contralateral aneurysms of the posterior communicating artery when bilateral aneurysms were present. We have also used this contralateral approach successfully with single ophthalmic and proximal carotid aneurysms that pointed medially. We review the cases of 39 patients with 43 intracranial aneurysms operated from the contralateral side and present the surgical technique in relation to the angiographic findings.
