Abstract THE SUPERFICIAL TEMPORAL artery-to-middle cerebral artery bypass represents the mainstay of bypass operations for cerebral revascularization. The role of this operation in the setting of cerebrovascular occlusive disease, with compromised cerebral hemodynamic reserve, is a topic of current investigation. In this report, we describe technical nuances to avert potential pitfalls in the performance of this procedure. The use of intraoperative quantitative blood flow measurements as a reliable method of assessing the success of the bypass is also described.

Direct bypass has been used to salvage failed endovascular treatment; however, little is known of the reversed role of endovascular management for failed bypass.The authors report the case of a 7-year-old patient who underwent a superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass for treatment of a giant MCA aneurysm and describe the role of endovascular rescue in this case. Post-bypass catheter angiogram showed occlusion of the proximal extracranial STA donor with patent anastomosis, possibly due to STA dissection. A self-expanding Neuroform Atlas stent was deployed across the dissection flap, and follow-up images showed revascularization of the STA with good MCA runoff.This case demonstrates that direct extracranial-intracranial bypass failure can infrequently originate from the STA donor vessel and that superselective angiogram can be useful for identification and treatment in such cases. With more advanced endovascular techniques the tide has turned in the treatment of complex cerebrovascular cases, with this case being an early example of successful rescue stenting for endovascular management of a failed donor after STA-MCA bypass.

AbstractStroke is the third most common cause of death worldwide. About 10% to 15% of strokes related to the territory of the carotid artery are associated with its complete occlusion. There is an important subgroup of patients with cerebrovascular occlusive diseases who might benefit from an external-carotid-to-internal-carotid bypass. In the present study, we report a case of a 53-year-old male patient with stenosis of the M2 branch of the middle cerebral artery (MCA), with a history of ∼ 20 episodes of transient ischemic accidents (TIA)s, in whom an anastomosis of the M4 branch of the superficial temporal artery-MCA was performed. The patient was discharged in three days, and in the two years of follow-up, they were no more TIAs. We also conducted a review of the literature on cerebrovascular occlusive disease and extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery. New methods to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics made it possible to classify a new subgroup of patients with symptomatic cerebrovascular disease and documented cerebrovascular compromise in whom the drug therapy fails, who can benefit from the extracranial-intracranial bypass. Our case report illustrates the advantages of revascularization in these selected patients.

Abstract We present the case of a 34-yr-old male who suffered repeated ischemic events resulting in right-sided weakness. He was found to have left M1 segment near occlusion on angiography with a large area of uncompensated hypoperfusion. The patient underwent a direct superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass. Direct bypass in the acute setting of ischemia has been previously described.1-5 Moyamoya ischemic disease can be treated with either direct or indirect surgical revascularization. There have been several techniques developed for direct bypasses in moyamoya ischemic disease. These include the standard 1-donor 1-recipient (1D1R) end-to-side (ES) bypass, the “double-barrel” 2-donor 2-recipient (2D2R) ES bypass, and the more recently developed 1-donor 2-recipient (1D2R)6,7 utilizing both an ES and a side-to-side (SS) bypass with a 1-donor vessel. The case presentation, surgical anatomy, decision-making, operative nuances, and postoperative course and outcome are reviewed. The patient gave verbal consent for participating in the procedure and surgical video.

Abstract This case history of a man with bilateral carotid artery occlusions presents angiographic documentation of the embolization of a superficial temporal-middle cerebral artery bypass. The embolic source was thrombotic and/or atheromatous debris that had collected in the persistent stump of one of the occluded internal carotid arteries.
