Abstract
Up to 40% of intracranial aneurysms arise from the anterior cerebral artery and anterior communicating artery (ACA-ACoA) complex. The vast variability of vessel anomalies and the surrounding critical structures correlate with severe morbidity and mortality rates in case of rupture. In the era of cutting-edge advantages of endovascular procedures, surgical expertise is reducing. This article describes our institutional surgical technique in managing ACoA aneurysms, focusing on anatomical variants, approach selection, and technical intraoperative nuances.
