A1-ACOA-A2 EXPOSURE
In Yasargil’s experience,superior aneurysms were most common (34%), followed by anterior (23%), posterior (14%), and inferior (13%); multiple lobes or mixed projection was encountered in 16% of aneurysms.
Inferiorly projecting aneurysms hide the contralateral A1 segment,which limits proximal control. Anteriorly projecting aneurysms hide the contralateral A1-A2 junction, which hinders dissection of the distal aneurysm neck. Superiorly projecting aneurysms hide the contralateral A2 segment. Posteriorly projecting aneurysms hide the ACoA perforators, which puts them in jeopardy during permanent clipping.
