Question on Dr. Spetzler

[Italia]

I have a question on the surgical procedure that Dr. Spetzler does. What's the name of the procedure where his patients are clinically dead to remove an aneurysm from the brain? I happened to catch the end of a show on Discovery Health about it and found out that Dr. Spetzler practices a short drive from my house. Help would be greatly appreciated

I didn't see the show but suspect it was hypothermia with circulatory arrest.

There's a book about the Barrow, Dr. Spetlzer and the "standstill" procedure:

The Healing Blade by Edward Sylvester
