Although historical studies have yielded mixed results and limited its use, modern diagnostic and surgical techniques are reopening the path for selective application of bypass in high-risk patients. A clear indication is the rare moyamoya disease, where bypass is a proven method for preventing ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. In patients with symptomatic chronic internal carotid artery occlusion and exhausted cerebrovascular reserve, bypass may serve as a potential treatment modality, provided it is carefully indicated -through comprehensive specialized evaluation. Emergent bypass should be considered for a narrow group of patients with acute ischemic stroke when standard treatment fails or is not feasible. Despite ongoing debate, extra-intracranial bypass remains an essential part of cerebrovascular surgery.

It involves lung parenchyma that has abnormal or absent communication with the tracheobronchial tree. The blood supply is not connected to the pulmonary circulation but comes from the systemic circulation. Intralobar pulmonary sequestration refers to pulmonary sequestration that shares a common pleura with normal parenchyma. In contrast, extralobar sequestration has its own visceral pleura that is not continuous with the normal lung. Extralobar pulmonary sequestration, unlike intralobar pulmonary sequestration, typically does not present with infectious manifestations due to the absence of a connection to the tracheobronchial tree. Instead, it may manifest as hypoxia, cardiac failure, or rarely, torsion of the sequestrum. However, it is more often an incidental asymptomatic finding. Computed tomography currently plays a leading role in diagnosis, enabling visualization of the feeding vessels. Surgical resection is the mainstay of the treatment, primarily to prevent hemorrhage or malignant transformation of the tissue.
