Abstract：Objective To explore the feasibility to facilitate clipping of large and giant intracranial aneurysms by modified endovascular retrograde suction decompression (RSD) with Mo.Ma device.Methods The clinical data of 15 patients with large and giant intracranial aneurysms,who underwent microsurgery under the assistance of the modified RSD technique with Mo.Ma device were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 15 patients,14 received successful clipping of the aneurysmal necks and 1 died of severe subarachnoid hemorrhage and postoperative heart failure.No complications related to the modified RSD occurred in all the patients.The following-up,ranging from 6 to 36 months with a mean time of 15.3 months,showed that modified Rankin scale score was 0～1 point in 11 patients,3 points in 2 and 1 point in 1.Conclusion The modified RSD with Mo.Ma device is helpful to facilitating microsurgery for large and giant intracranial aneurysms.
