Abstract
This communication outlines the development of aneurysm clips, from those originally used by Walter Dandy to those in use today. The history is rich, with many contributions from neurosurgical pioneers and innovators. As a result, the modern neurosurgeon has a wide selection of biocompatible aneurysm clips from which to choose, clips that have known closing pressures and various sizes and shapes, as well as a selection of clip applicators that do not obstruct the surgical field.
