Implementation of a large number of surgeries enabled improvement of the technique and clarification of the prerequisites for preoperative examination, intraoperative control, and postoperative management of patients. A low mortalits rate suggests this technique for use in clinical practice. The surgery is indicated for the treatment of giant aneurysms of the petrous, cavernous, and clinoid segments of the ICA. In the case of giant supraclinoid aneurysms, the surgery may be combined with removal of thrombotic masses from the aneurysm sac for rapid decompression of the cranial nerves. Application of this surgery for treatment of giant aneurysms of the trunk and bifurcation of the basilar artery is promising but requires further investigation. The surgery is also recommended for improving cerebral perfusion in the setting of complex stenotic occlusive lesions of the BCA: prolonged BCA stenoses, tandem ICA stenoses located in both the extracranial and intracranial segments, nonspecific vasculitis and arteriitis, subcranial aneurysms, kinking etc.
