GARABITO-LOPEZ, Jorge Andrés. Adenosine for clamping of cerebral aneurysms: review of current literature. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2019, vol.42, n.2, pp.111-117.  Epub 30-Mar-2020. ISSN 0484-7903.

The clipping of cerebral aneurysms remains a very complex surgery even with advances in neurosciences. The goal of surgery in the clipping of cerebral aneurysms is to prevent rupture and cause collateral damage in the same, trying to expose both the neck of the aneurysm to its maximum for clipping as well as temporary occlusion of the artery proximal to it. The use of trananesthetic cardiac arrest in the clipping of cerebral aneurysms is a technique used for certain types of cerebral aneurysms and there are several methods to perform it, from deep or severe hypothermia, passing through ventricular pacemaker at high frequencies until it reaches the circulatory arrest with the use of adenosine. This review of the literature will focus on the use of adenosine for the clipping of cerebral aneurysms and, although it seems a safe method and does not require much logistical preparation, it should only be performed by expert personnel in neuroanesthesiology to achieve a better result for the patient.
