Summary

Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a technique to obtain flow arrest for short periods of time during dissection or rupture of the aneurysm. RVP results in an adequate fall in blood pressure which presents as an on-off phenomenon. However it is not clear whether repetitive periods of pacing are harmless for the patient. Silent cardiac and cerebral infarcts may be undetected. The investigators will study the safety of RVP, particularly for the heart and the brain.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Rapid ventricular pacing

Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is a technique to obtain flow arrest for short periods of time during dissection or rupture of the aneurysm. RVP results in an adequate fall in blood pressure which presents as an on-off phenomenon. The technique facilitates the dissection and manipulation of cerebral aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and can be lifesaving in the case of an intraoperative bleeding or rupture

PROCEDURE

No rapid ventricular pacing

No rapid ventricular pacing is applied perioperatively.
