Assessment of left ventricular contractile state by preload-adjusted maximal power using echocardiographic automated border detection

The unexpected rupture of an intracranial aneurysm is a potentially catastrophic event. Strategies to control intraoperative aneurysm hemorrhage are based on sound surgical principles and take into consideration such variables as the timing, location, and severity of the rupture. Proven, successful techniques to prevent or control complications during aneurysm surgery are discussed in this article.
