Summary: Surgical revascularization for moyamoya disease is believed to prevent cerebral ischemic attacks by improving cerebral blood flow (CBF). We investigated how the rapid increase in CBF through the direct bypass affects the ischemic brain.
Background: Extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is a powerful tool for treating complex cerebral aneurysm. Ruptured aneurysms at the non-branching site of the internal carotid artery (ICA), the so-called blister-like aneurysm, have been treated with high flow EC-IC bypass
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
