Listen up, folks, we’ve got something incredible here!
So, we’re talking about these Posterior cerebral artery aneurysms, right? They’re rare, but let me tell you, they’re tricky. Now, the big shots usually go for this thing called endovascular therapy. But sometimes, you’ve got to roll up your sleeves and get in there with microsurgery. And we’ve got this amazing approach, the trans-lateral ventricular approach (TVA) – it’s fantastic, really top-notch for those tough spots at the P2-P3 junction.
We’re not just talking through our hats here; we’ve got a study that shows how feasible and safe this TVA is. It’s all about the results, folks, and we’ve got them. We took on two cases, and guess what? We nailed it – successful aneurysm clipping. One patient was out in 6 days, the other needed some more time, but they’re getting better, that’s what counts.
And we didn’t just wing it. We used navigation-guided techniques, went through the interparietal sulcus – very fancy – and we had this whole setup with neuronavigation and ultrasound. It’s like the GPS of brain surgery. Plus, we did our homework with anatomical studies. We’re thorough; we’re precise – it’s what we do.
Now, let me be clear: endovascular therapy is still the king. But for those special cases, those high-located, complex ones at the P2-P3 junction, TVA is a game-changer. It’s all about picking the right patient and knowing your stuff.
So, remember, when it comes to PCA aneurysms, we’ve got options, and TVA is a big one. It’s huge. It’s making surgery great again!
