A device for putting clips on blood vessels comprises a tubular member moving with respect to a shackle and a guide or working rod inserted into the cavity of the tubular member. n The method of treating brain aneurysms consists in that a hole is cut out in the patient's cranium under local anesthesia, a stereotaxic apparatus and the proposed device are installed in the hole, a guide rod is installed in the tubular member of the device, and the latter is brought to the part of the vessel to be clipped. The guide rod is then removed from the tubular member, and the working rod holding the clip is inserted instead. The clip is pushed out from the cavity of the tubular member and the vessel is clipped. The clip is now released from the grip, and the tubular member together with the working rod are removed from the operative hole. |
