• Management of giant intracranial aneurysms presents unique challenges to the neurosurgical team. Various techniques such as adenosine-induced hypotension, rapid ventricular pacing, and inducing deep hypothermia are described in the literature to effect circulatory arrest for the successful obliteration of giant aneurysms. We describe a novel technique of induced hypotension for clipping a giant aneurysm by using an inflatable balloon across the main pulmonary artery with a successful outcome. This technique has not been described earlier in the literature.
