Abstract Objective: Aneurysm formation is a complication of superficial temporal arterymiddle cerebral artery bypass surgery occurring as pseudoaneurysms caused by technical failure, but also as true aneurysms discovered after long-term follow-up. Clinical Presentation: A 53-year-old woman presented with a left internal carotid artery cavernous aneurysm manifesting as double vision. Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass, internal trapping of the internal carotid artery, and embolization were performed. Three years later, angiography disclosed a distal middle cerebral artery aneurysm. A 70-year-old man who had undergone right superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass after internal carotid artery occlusion died of subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured anterior spinal artery aneurysm 21 years later. Angiography and postmortem examination revealed de novo aneurysm formation on a middle cerebral artery branch adjoining the anastomotic site. Both patients had hypertension and multiplicity of aneurysms. Interpretation: Both cases were de novo true aneurysms caused by hemodynamic stress because of saccular to fusiform shape, location extending to the middle cerebral artery, high perfusion pressure, projection along the hemodynamic stress, and presence of common risk factors. Conclusion: Bypass surgery is increasingly performed in patients with complicated aneurysms if sacrifice or temporary occlusion of any major vessel is required. Therefore, de novo aneurysm formation may not be rare in patients with risk factors such as hypertension or multiple aneurysms. Extended follow-up examination is required in such patients.

Cerebral Hyperperfusion

OBJECTIVESuperficial temporal artery–middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis is the standard surgical management for moyamoya disease (MMD), whereas cerebral hyperperfusion (CHP) is one of the potential complications of this procedure that can result in delayed intracerebral hemorrhage and/or neurological deterioration. Recent advances in perioperative management in the early postoperative period have significantly reduced the risk of CHP syndrome, but delayed intracerebral hemorrhage and prolonged/delayed CHP are still major clinical issues. The clinical implication of RNF213 gene polymorphism c.14576G>A (rs112735431), a susceptibility variant for MMD, includes early disease onset and a more severe form of MMD, but its significance in perioperative pathology is unknown. Thus, the authors investigated the role of RNF213 polymorphism in perioperative hemodynamics after STA-MCA anastomosis for MMD.METHODSAmong 96 consecutive adult patients with MMD comprising 105 hemispheres who underwent serial quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF) analysis by N-isopropyl-p-[123I]iodoamphetamine SPECT after STA-MCA anastomosis, 66 patients consented to genetic analysis of RNF213. Patients were routinely maintained under strict blood pressure control during and after surgery. The local CBF values were quantified at the vascular territory supplied by the bypass on postoperative days (PODs) 1 and 7. The authors defined the radiological CHP phenomenon as a local CBF increase of more than 150% compared with the preoperative values, and then they investigated the correlation between RNF213 polymorphism and the development of CHP.RESULTSCHP at POD 1 was observed in 23 hemispheres (23/73 hemispheres [31.5%]), and its incidence was not statistically different between groups (15/41 [36.6%] in RNF213-mutant group vs 8/32 [25.0%] in RNF213–wild type (WT) group; p = 0.321). CHP on POD 7, which is a relatively late period of the CHP phenomenon in MMD, was evident in 9 patients (9/73 hemispheres [12.3%]) after STA-MCA anastomosis. This prolonged/delayed CHP was exclusively observed in the RNF213-mutant group (9/41 [22.0%] in the RNF213-mutant group vs 0/32 [0.0%] in the RNF213-WT group; p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis revealed that RNF213 polymorphism was significantly associated with CBF increase on POD 7 (OR 5.47, 95% CI 1.06–28.35; p = 0.043).CONCLUSIONSProlonged/delayed CHP after revascularization surgery was exclusively found in the RNF213-mutant group. Although the exact mechanism underlying the contribution of RNF213 polymorphism to the prolonged/delayed CBF increase in patients with MMD is unclear, the current study suggests that genetic analysis of RNF213 is useful for predicting the perioperative pathology of patients with MMD.

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.

Background and Objective: Older and the recent extracranial-intracranial (EC/IC) bypass trials for symptomatic carotid occlusion failed to demonstrate reduction in stroke recurrence. However, role of superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass in patients with symptomatic intracranial steno-occlusive disease has been evaluated scarcely. We evaluated serial changes in various cerebral hemodynamic parameters in patients with severe steno-occlusive disease of intracranial internal carotid (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA) and impaired cerebral vasodilatory reserve (CVR), treated with STA-MCA bypass surgery or medical treatment. Methods: Patients with severe steno-occlusive disease of intracranial ICA or MCA underwent transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasonography and CVR assessment using breath-holding index (BHI). Patients with impaired BHI (<0.69) were further evaluated with acetazolamide-challenged hexamethylpropyleneamine-oxime single-photon emission computed tomography (HMPAO-SPECT). STA-MCA bypass surgery was offered to patients with impaired CVR on SPECT. All patients underwent TCD and SPECT at 4±1 months and followed-up for cerebral ischemic events. Results: A total of 112patients (73males, mean age 56yrs; range 23-78yrs) were included. HMPAO-SPECT demonstrated impaired CVR in 77 (69%) patients. Of them, 46 underwent STA-MCA bypass while 31 received best medical treatment. TCD and acetazolamide-challenged HMPAO-SPECT repeated 4±1months showed significant improvement in STA-MCA bypass group. During follow-up (mean 34months; range 18-39months), only 6/46 (13%) patients in bypass group developed cerebral ischemic events as compared to 14/31 (45%) cases on medical therapy (absolute risk-reduction 32%, p=0.008). Conclusion: STA-MCA bypass surgery in carefully selected patients with symptomatic severe intracranial steno-occlusive disease results in significant improvement in hemodynamic parameters and reduction in stroke recurrence.
