Abstract

Intraoperative aneurysmal rupture can be defined as aneurysmal rupture that takes place during any procedure from the induction of anesthesia to the closing of the wound and may result in a disastrous surgical outcome if not managed properly. The author experienced 11 cases of intraoperative aneurysmal rupture among 134 cases of aneurysm surgeries over the past 7 years at Yong-San hospital. The intraoperative rupture rate was 8% and there was statistically significant higher incidence of rupture in the early operated group. Rupture occurred during dissection in 5 cases and during the clipping procedure in 6. The early and late mortality was 27%, which included one case that could also be attributed to the direct effect of subarachnoid hemorrhage.
