Abstract
Background
Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is an effective revascularization technique for flow augmentation in conditions like Moyamoya disease and ischemic cerebrovascular disorders. The approach described here combines direct bypass (STA-MCA anastomosis), indirect bypass (encephaloduromyosynangiosis, EDMS), preservation of the middle meningeal artery (MMA), and preservation of recipient artery perforators to optimize outcomes.
Method
This article outlines a comprehensive surgical strategy emphasizing anatomical considerations, procedural nuances, and the integration of direct and indirect techniques while preserving MMA and recipient artery perforators to augment collateral circulation.
Conclusion
The Integrated Method described here encompasses four technical aspects so as to enhance revascularization, minimize complications, and improve long-term outcome in carefully selected patients.
期刊介绍:
The journal "Acta Neurochirurgica" publishes only original papers useful both to research and clinical work. Papers should deal with clinical neurosurgery - diagnosis and diagnostic techniques, operative surgery and results, postoperative treatment - or with research work in neuroscience if the underlying questions or the results are of neurosurgical interest. Reports on congresses are given in brief accounts. As official organ of the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies the journal publishes all announcements of the E.A.N.S. and reports on the activities of its member societies. Only contributions written in English will be accepted.
