Clip reconstruction and sequential progressive clipping have been described in the management of giant thrombosed DACA aneurysms.\n                    <jats:sup>1,2<\/jats:sup>\n                    Customized revascularization with bypass, side-to-side anastomosis, and trapping of the aneurysmal segment have also been performed for treating DACA aneurysms.\n                    <jats:sup>3-12<\/jats:sup>\n                    We present a 2-dimensional operative video of superficial temporal artery (STA) to distal anterior cerebral artery bypass, followed by trapping of the aneurysm-bearing segment. A 57-yr-old lady presented with a large ruptured subcallosal fusiform DACA aneurysm (WFNS grade 1, Fisher grade 1). Angiography revealed a 1.3\u00a0\u00d7\u00a00.9 cm fusiform aneurysm in the DACA.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\u2003Informed consent was secured from the patient and her family for the surgery and permission was obtained for the publication of the patient's image\/surgical video. The frontal and parietal branches of the STA were dissected. The parietal branch was explanted and used as a free interposition graft between the frontal branch (end-to-end anastomosis) and calloso-marginal artery (end-to-side anastomosis). After confirming blood flow through the bypass using Doppler, the aneurysm was trapped and excised.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\u2003The patient had an uneventful recovery. Her postoperative computed tomography (CT) head revealed no evidence of neurological insult. The patency of the bypass conduit and the complete removal of the aneurysm were confirmed using a digital subtraction angiogram. Histopathological examination revealed an eccentric atheromatous plaque with a lipid core. There was no evidence of intraplaque hemorrhage. This extended STA graft utilizing the frontal and parietal branches of the STA, and its implantation into the distal ACA, offers a novel bypass strategy for tackling fusiform aneurysms of the DACA. Anastomosis to the calloso-marginal artery ensured perfusion of the ACA territory through the pericallosal artery during temporary occlusion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ons\/opab239","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,30]],"date-time":"2021-06-30T23:54:25Z","timestamp":1625097265000},"page":"E353-E354","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Superficial
