Objective: Multiple strategies exist to facilitate microdissection and obliteration of intracranial aneurysms during microsurgical clipping. Rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) can be used to induce controlled transient hypotension to facilitate aneurysm manipulation. We report the indications and outcomes of intraoperative RVP for clipping of ruptured and unruptured complex aneurysms.
