Results of treatment of intracranial aneurysms by wrapping and coating

J Neurosurg. 1975 Feb;42(2):189-93. doi: 10.3171/jns.1975.42.2.0189.

Abstract

The authors report the results of treatment of 58 intracranial aneurysms by wrapping with muscle or muslin gauze, and/or coating with Selverstone plastic material. They conclude that reinforcement with muscle is of little value, but that muslin gauze and plastic produced satisfactory results.
