R V Jeffreys 1,1, A E Holmes 1
PMCID: PMC493872  PMID: 5122386

Abstract

Sixty-four consecutive cases of ruptured posterior communicating aneurysms were investigated. Fifty-one cases were treated by abrupt ligation of the common carotid artery with no operative mortality and a small temporary operative morbidity.
