ABSTRACT
Advances in anesthetic and surgical management, such as deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and temporary clipping, have improved outcomes for intracranial aneurysm patients. However, these techniques are associated with significant risks. We report on two cases in which adenosine administration was used to induce transient periods of cardiac asystole during intracranial aneurysm surgery. This asystole resulted in profound hypotension and collapse of the aneurysm, which facilitated its safe clipping.
