Disease relevance of Cerebral Revascularization

• CASE DESCRIPTION: A 52-year-old man who had undergone bilateral STA-MCA bypass for caudate hemorrhage due to moyamoya disease 20 years previously suffered from sudden-onset unconsciousness [1].

High impact information on Cerebral Revascularization

• CONCLUSIONS: Combined surgery (STA-MCA bypass with EDAMS) for pediatric moyamoya disease was effective in reducing the risk of postoperative ischemic attacks compared with indirect surgery [2].
• Microsurgical anatomy of cerebral revascularization. Part I: anterior circulation [3].
• Immediate institution of a barbiturate coma, volume expansion, and placement of a high-flow extracranial-intracranial arterial bypass graft led to rapid recovery of hemispheric function [4].
• RESULTS: Angiography demonstrated improvement in perfusion and STA filling, which was used for STA-MCA bypass, with resolution of symptoms [5].
• We recommend STA-MCA bypass for patients with reduced CRC, regardless of whether baseline CBF is reduced or normal [6].

Anatomical context of Cerebral Revascularization

• OBJECT: The authors evaluated the effects of superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass in the prevention of future stroke, including rebleeding or an ischemic event, in patients suffering from hemorrhagic moyamoya disease by comparing this method with indirect bypass and conservative treatment [7].
• For reliable revascularization to the ACA territory, we performed superficial temporal artery (STA)-ACA direct anastomosis in 5 of 58 patients with moyamoya disease who underwent cerebral revascularization at our institute during the last 8 years [8].

Associations of Cerebral Revascularization with chemical compounds

• The controlled delivery of thiopental and delayed cerebral revascularization [9].
• Pentothal protection for delay cerebral revascularization [10].

Gene context of Cerebral Revascularization

• The blood flow pattern of the STA, which had had an external carotid flow pattern, was altered to an internal carotid flow pattern by the STA-MCA bypass operation [11].
