Case Report of a Novel Technique for Repair
of the Vertebral Artery During Cranial Surgery
AbstractSurgery of complex cranial base lesions carries a high risk of damage to
main vessels, often resulting in life-changing or even life-threatening injuries. We
describe a rapid, effective, and noninvasive application of a collagen-based
hemostatic patch to repair the vertebral artery during cranial surgery. A
61-year-old male patient underwent retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove a foramen
magnum meningioma that encased the vertebral artery. A linear incision was made
behind the ear and standard retrosigmoid craniotomy was performed with preservation
of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses. The dura was open...

We describe a rapid, effective, and noninvasive application of a collagen-based hemostatic patch to repair the vertebral artery during cranial surgery. A 61-year-old male patient underwent retrosigmoid craniotomy to remove a foramen magnum meningioma that encased the vertebral artery. A linear incision was made behind the ear and standard retrosigmoid craniotomy was performed with preservation of the transverse and sigmoid sinuses. The dura was opened in a Y-shaped fashion and the cerebellum was retracted with cerebrospinal fluid being released. Removing the exposed tumor from the artery resulted in a small arterial bleed....
