The Potential Role of Preoperative Posterior Cerebral Artery Involvement in Predicting Postoperative Transient Neurological Deficits and Ischemic Stroke After Indirect Revascularization in Patients With Moyamoya Disease. World Neurosurg 2024; 187:e610-e619.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Transient neurological deficits (TNDs) are known to develop after direct bypass for Moyamoya disease and may be risk factors for subsequent stroke. However, the factors involved in the development of TNDs and stroke after indirect revascularization alone, including their association with subsequent stroke, remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate this issue. METHODS The subjects of the study were 30 patients with Moyamoya disease who underwent a total of 40 indirect revascularization procedures at our institution. Clinical and radiological data were collected retrospectively. To examine factors associated with the development of postoperative TND/stroke/asymptomatic disease, the clinical characteristics of each group were statistically compared. RESULTS The mean age at surgery was 7 years (range 1-63). TNDs developed after surgery in 9 out of 40 patients (22.5%). Stroke in the acute postoperative period occurred in 3 patients (7.5%), all of whom experienced cerebral infarctions. Demographic data and preoperative clinical information were not different between the groups. However, posterior cerebral artery involvement on preoperative imaging was significantly associated with the development of TNDs and stroke (P = 0.006). Furthermore, postoperative stroke was associated with unfavorable outcomes (P = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS Posterior cerebral artery involvement is significantly associated with the occurrence of TNDs. In contrast, TNDs after indirect revascularization have little relationship with the subsequent development of stroke. TNDs usually resolve without new strokes, and a better understanding of this particular pathology could help establish an optimal treatment regimen.

World Neurosurg 2020; 146:e452-e460. [PMID: 33228957 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2020.10.114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/21/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate long-term bypass patency and final structure for patients who underwent superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass. METHODS This study retrospectively evaluated 20 patients who underwent STA-MCA bypass and had 2-year follow-up with cerebral angiography. Patients were divided into internal carotid artery occlusion (n = 11) and MCA occlusion or stenosis (n = 9) groups, and diagnosis was either arteriosclerotic (n = 14) or nonarteriosclerotic (n = 6) disease. Final bypass formation was examined with cerebral angiography at 2 years postoperatively. Diameters of the STA, middle meningeal artery (MMA), and deep temporal artery (DTA) were measured at preoperative angiography and at 2-year follow-up. RESULTS No significant differences in STA, MMA, and DTA diameters were reported between the internal carotid artery versus MCA group. For patients with arteriosclerotic disease, thicker STA diameters were noted on preoperative angiography. For patients with nonarteriosclerotic disease, MMA and DTA dilatation was noted on 2-year follow-up imaging. For patients with arteriosclerotic disease, all direct bypasses were patent at 2 years. For patients with nonarteriosclerotic disease, remarkable angiogenesis was demonstrated. CONCLUSIONS Long-term patency of a direct bypass may be correlated with arteriosclerotic or nonarteriosclerotic etiology. An indirect bypass route may develop in patients with nonarteriosclerotic disease; therefore, it is important to create a foundation for an indirect bypass with MMA and DTA preservation during craniotomy. In 2 patients with nonarteriosclerotic disease, STA remained the primary bypass foundation; however, the technique resembled novel angiogenesis after encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis and not direct STA-MCA bypass. Therefore, final bypass structure might be affected by disease etiology.
