AbstractA patient underwent surgical clipping of a complex giant intracranial carotid aneurysm with the aid of extracorporeal circulation and complete hypothermic circulatory arrest. During the entire procedure, cerebrovascular oxygen saturation (ScO2) was spectroscopically measured. The patient experienced circulatory arrest for 34 min; for 15 of the 34 min ScO2 was < 34% (minimum 32%). The patient tolerated the procedure without new neurological deficit, thus demonstrating that the previously suggested "critical" level of 35% ScO2 is not absolute.
