Influence of an improvement in frontal lobe hemodynamics on neurocognitive function in adult patients with moyamoya disease. Neurosurg Rev 2024; 47:395. [PMID: 39093494 DOI: 10.1007/s10143-024-02639-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In adults, moyamoya disease (MMD) often presents with slight neurocognitive impairment, which may result from frontal lobe hemodynamic insufficiency. METHODS In this study, we performed revascularization surgery by superficial temporal artery-anterior cerebral artery (ACA) direct bypass in 20 adults with MMD with poor anterograde ACA flow (Group M). The pre- and postoperative neurocognitive test results of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. The comparative group (Group C) included 23 patients with unruptured aneurysms or brain tumors who underwent craniotomy, as well as the same neurocognitive tests as Group M. We calculated the compositive frontal lobe function index (CFFI) based on the results of seven neurocognitive tests for each patient, and the difference between the pre- and postoperative CFFI values (CFFI Post - Pre) was compared between the two groups. RESULTS Frontal perfusion improved postoperatively in all patients in Group M. The CFFI Post - Pre was significantly higher in Group M than in Group C (0.23 ± 0.44 vs. - 0.20 ± 0.32; p < 0.001). After adjusting for postoperative age, sex, preoperative non-verbal intelligence quotient, and preoperative period of stress, Group M had a significantly higher CFFI Post - Pre than Group C in the multiple regression analysis (t value = 4.01; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Improving frontal lobe hemodynamics might be the key for improving neurocognitive dysfunction in adults with MMD. The surgical indication and method should be considered from the perspective of both stroke prevention and neurocognitive improvement or protection.

Abstract
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease and resultant intracranial stenosis is a global leading cause of stroke, and poses an ongoing treatment challenge. Among patients with intracranial stenosis, those with hemodynamic compromise are at high risk for recurrent stroke despite medical therapy and risk factor modification. Revascularization of the hypoperfused territory is the most plausible treatment strategy for these high-risk patients, yet surgical and endovascular therapies have not yet shown to be sufficiently safe and effective in randomized controlled trials. Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic technologies have led to a resurgence of interest in surgical and endovascular treatment strategies, with a growing body of evidence to support their further evaluation in the treatment of select patient populations. This review outlines the current and emerging endovascular and surgical treatments and highlights promising future management strategies.

Clinical effect of a modified superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery in Moyamoya disease treatment. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1273822. [PMID: 37941571 PMCID: PMC10628485 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1273822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Cerebral extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) revascularization technique (superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass grafting) has become the preferred surgical method for the treatment of Moyamoya disease (MMD). We attempted to completely free the two branches of the superficial temporal artery without disconnection. Extracranial and intracranial blood flow reconstruction were then modified by selectively performing a direct bypass technique on one branch and a patch fusion technique on the other of the STA based on the blood flow and the vascular diameter of the intracranial surface blood vessels. Methods A series of modified STA-MCA bypass surgeries performed consecutively between March 2022 and March 2023 were reviewed and compared to conventional combined bypass surgeries performed during the same period. The following information was collected from all enrolled patients: demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, and preoperative and postoperative imaging, including Suzuki stage and Matsushima grade. The modified Rankin scale (mRS) was used to assess the changes in neurological status before and after surgery. Results A total of 41 patients with Moyamoya disease (MMD) who underwent cerebral revascularization were included in this study, of which 30 were conventional revascularization and 11 were modified revascularization. The mean age was 49.91 years, and 18 (43.9%) of the patients were women. The modified group had a lower incidence of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (18.2%) than the conventional group (23.3%). After at least 3 months of follow-up, the bypass patency rate remained 100% in the modified group and 93.3% in the conventional group. All patients in the modified group achieved a better Matsushima grade (A + B), with six (54.5%) having an A and five (45.5%) having a B. In contrast, four patients (13.3%) in the conventional group had a Matsushima grade of C. In all, 72.8% of the modified group had postoperative mRS scores of 0 and 1, which was higher than that of the traditional group (63.3%). Conclusion The improved STA-MCA bypass could provide blood flow to multiple cerebral ischemic areas, reduce excessive blood perfusion, and ensure blood supply to the scalp, with lower complications and better clinical benefits than the traditional combined bypass.

Ultrasonic hemodynamic changes of superficial temporal artery graft in different angiogenesis outcomes of Moyamoya disease patients treated with combined revascularization surgery. Front Neurol 2023; 14:1115343. [PMID: 36873438 PMCID: PMC9978192 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2023.1115343] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Combined bypass is commonly used in adult Moyamoya disease (MMD) for revascularization purposes. The blood flow from the external carotid artery system supplied by the superficial temporal artery (STA), middle meningeal artery (MMA), and deep temporal artery (DTA) can restore the impaired hemodynamics of the ischemic brain. In this study we attempted to evaluate the hemodynamic changes of the STA graft and predict the angiogenesis outcomes in MMD patients after combined bypass surgery by using quantitative ultrasonography. Methods We retrospectively studied Moyamoya patients who were treated by combined bypass between September 2017 and June 2021 in our hospital. We quantitatively measured the STA with ultrasound and recorded the blood flow, diameter, pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) to assess graft development preoperatively and at 1 day, 7 days, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. All patients received both pre- and post- operative angiography evaluation. Patients were divided into either well- or poorly-angiogenesis groups according to the transdural collateral formation status on angiography at 6 months after surgery (W group or P group). Patients with matshushima grade A or B were divided into W group. Patients with matshushima grade C were divided into P group, indicating a poor angiogenesis development. Results A total of 52 patients with 54 operated hemispheres were enrolled, including 25 men and 27 women with an average age of 39 ± 14.3 years. Compared to preoperative values, the average blood flow of an STA graft at day 1 postoperation increased from 16.06 ± 12.47 to 117.47± 73.77 (mL/min), diameter increased from 1.14 ± 0.33 to 1.81 ± 0.30 (mm), PI dropped from 1.77 ± 0.42 to 0.76 ± 0.37, and RI dropped from 1.77 ± 0.42 to 0.50 ± 0.12. According to the Matsushima grade at 6 months after surgery, 30 hemispheres qualified as W group and 24 hemispheres as P group. Statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in diameter (p = 0.010) as well as flow (p = 0.017) at 3 months post-surgery. Flow also remained significantly different at 6 months after surgery (p = 0.014). Based on GEE logistic regression evaluation, the patients with higher levels of flow post-operation were more likely to have poorly-compensated collateral. ROC analysis showed that increased flow of ≥69.5 ml/min (p = 0.003; AUC = 0.74) or a 604% (p = 0.012; AUC = 0.70) increase at 3 months post-surgery compared with the pre-operative value is the cut-off point which had the highest Youden's index for predicting P group. Furthermore, a diameter at 3 months post-surgery that is ≥0.75 mm (p = 0.008; AUC = 0.71) or 52% (p =0.021; AUC = 0.68) wider than pre-operation also indicates a high risk of poor indirect collateral formation. Conclusions The hemodynamic of the STA graft changed significantly after combined bypass surgery. An increased flow of more than 69.5 ml/min at 3 months was a good predictive factor for poor neoangiogenesis in MMD patients treated with combined bypass surgery.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of indirect revascularization vs. non-surgical treatment in adults with Moyamoya disease (MMD) and Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) remains controversial. Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of indirect revascularization and non-surgical treatments in adult patients with MMD and MMS. Methods We collected medical records and follow-up results of adult patients with MMD and MMS who received treatment in the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University between January 2019 and December 2021. A Shapiro-Wilk test, independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test, and Pearson chi-square test were used to compare baseline variables. The propensity-score analysis was used to compare clinical outcomes of patients with MMD and MMS who underwent indirect revascularization and non-surgical treatments. The color-coded digital subtraction angiography (CC-DSA) was used to quantitatively analyzed the preoperative and postoperative (at 6-month follow-up) images of patients in the surgical group. Results A total of 144 patients were included in this study, of whom 37 received indirect revascularization treatment and 107 received non-surgical treatment. The average age of the patients was 58.3 ± 13.4 years. Perioperative complications were observed in eight of the operations. During the follow-up period, a total of 35 stroke events occurred, including two cases (5.4%) in the surgery group and 33 cases (30.8%) in the non-surgery group (p < 0.05). The preoperative mean transit time (MTT) of bypass vessel (superficial temporal artery, STA) was 0.26 ± 0.07, and the postoperative MTT of bypass vessel was 3.0 ± 0.25, and there was no statistical difference between the subgroups. Conclusion Indirect revascularization surgery can significantly reduce the recurrent stroke incidence of MMD and MMS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A combined surgery of direct and indirect revascularization has been frequently performed in patients with moyamoya disease, though the efficacy of indirect revascularization surgery in adult patients with moyamoya disease has not been established. This study aimed to evaluate superficial temporal artery (STA) and deep temporal artery (DTA) diameters 1 day and 3 months after combined revascularization surgery in patients with moyamoya disease. We also investigated clinical factors related to DTA enlargement after surgery. METHODS We examined 78 cerebral hemispheres in 57 adult and pediatric patients with moyamoya disease who underwent combined revascularization surgery [STA-MCA bypass and encephalo-duro-myo-synangiosis] in our institution. STA and DTA diameters were measured on axial magnetic resonance angiography images at 1 day and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS DTA diameter increased in 64 hemispheres (82.1%). DTA diameter increase in association with STA diameter decrease was found in 39 hemispheres (50%). The proportion of hemispheres with a reduction in STA diameter was significantly higher in hemispheres with DTA enlargement than in hemispheres with DTA reduction (P = 0.0088). Among the 64 hemispheres with DTA enlargement, 51 (79.7%) showed cerebrovascular reserve (CVR) impairment in the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory before surgery. CVR impairment in the ACA territory was the only clinical factor related to DTA enlargement (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The DTA frequently enlarges after combined revascularization surgery, even in adult patients with moyamoya disease. In patients with impaired CVR in the ACA territory, blood supply from the DTA to the ACA territory can be expected after combined revascularization surgery.

Abstract
Moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) can be treated using direct, indirect, or combined revascularization procedures. We perform combined revascularization using the STA-MCA bypass and minimally invasive encephalodurosynangiosis (MIS-EDS). Due to lack of systematic analyses to date it remains unclear whether and to which extent this limited EDS serves as a growth source for extracerebral blood vessels into the brain. The objective of the current study is to characterize the extent of angiographic filling of MIS-EDS and STA-MCA bypass development over time and to determine possible predictors of EDS development in adult MMA patients. Single-center retrospective analysis of 81 MMA patients (139 hemispheres) treated with a MIS-EDS and STA-MCA bypass was performed. Angiographic images and clinical/operative data were reviewed and scored. Uni-/ and multivariate Cox regression analyses identified preoperative predictors of good EDS vascularization. At 3-6 months after surgery EDS showed moderate and high angiographic filling in 40% and 5% of hemispheres, respectively. After 12 months moderate and high filling was found in 57% and 4% of hemispheres, respectively. STA-MCA bypass filling was moderate in 47% and high in 7% of hemispheres at 3-6 months and 45% moderate and 9% high after 12 months. High STA-MCA bypass filling on angiography was a negative predictor of EDS development. MIS-EDS is a simple technique and serves as a source of vessel growth into the brain. EDS development lags behind that of STA-MCA bypass and can be recommended as an additive revascularization source when combined with a direct bypass.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to analyze the angioarchitecture characters and changes after combined bypass surgery (CBS) in pediatric moyamoya disease (MMD). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed our database of consecutive patients with moyamoya angiopathy who received treatment. Only pediatric MMD cases aged between 3 and 19 years with pre- and post-operative imaging examinations including digital subtraction angiography and magnetic resonance imaging were enrolled in this study. The main trunk vessels' stenosis and the collaterals from the superficial-meningeal system and deep parenchymal system were evaluated before and after CBS. RESULTS During short-term follow-up period after the unilateral CBS, the stenosis of main trunk vessels both in operative (5.7 ± 2.1 vs. 6.8 ± 1.8; p < 0.001) and non-operative hemisphere (non-operative side 4.3 ± 1.9 vs. 5.7 ± 2.1; p < 0.001) progressed obviously. During the median follow-up period of 28.5 months after CBS, the decrease of posterior cerebral artery middle cerebral artery (PCA-MCA) anastomoses was much more significant (26 vs. 6, p < 0.001) than that of the PCA anterior cerebral artery anastomoses (18 vs. 19, p = 0.807). Meanwhile, the subependymal anastomotic network could be relieved obviously (27 vs. 2, p < 0.001), while the inner thalamic and striatal anastomotic network showed no significant change (31 vs. 25, p = 0.109). CONCLUSIONS The successful CBS could decrease the collaterals from the PCA-MCA leptomeningeal system and the subependymal compensations in deep parenchyma significantly, while the main trunk stenosis would aggravate rapidly both in operative and non-operative hemisphere in short-term follow-up after unilateral CBS. Therefore, strict and regular follow-ups for the changes of vascular architecture and prompt surgical intervention for the contralateral side might be of benefit to pediatric MMD.

BACKGROUND Neurocognitive dysfunctions or psychomotor symptoms of Moyamoya disease may improve after direct revascularization to the anterior cerebral artery (ACA). However, long-distance harvest of the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery (STA) is needed to reach the cortical ACA, frequently resulting in postoperative wound complications. To solve this problem, we devised a novel method (STA lengthening technique). In this study, we compared the STA lengthening technique and the conventional method regarding postoperative wound complications. METHODS Twenty-five patients who underwent STA-ACA direct bypass from December 2016 to October 2021 were retrospectively reviewed, and postoperative wound complications were recorded. Magnetic resonance angiography was performed to evaluate the patency of the bypass to the ACA and postoperative development of collaterals to the skin flap. RESULTS Thirty-eight hemispheres (new method [n = 12] vs. conventional method [n = 26]) were treated. Wound complications occurred in 12 surgeries (46%) of the conventional method, and none (0%) of the new method. The anastomosis with the cortical ACA was patent in all surgeries. Postoperative development of collaterals to the skin flap was confirmed after all surgeries (100%) in the new method, whereas after only five surgeries (20%) in the conventional method. CONCLUSION The STA lengthening technique can enable to preserve the collateral circulation to the skin flap postoperatively, resulting in good wound healing.

Abstract
Objectives: Moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV) is a rare stenoocclusive cerebrovascular disease associated with increased risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, which can be treated using surgical revascularization techniques. Despite well-established neurosurgical procedures performed in experienced centers, bypass failure associated with neurological symptoms can occur. The current study therefore aims at characterizing the cases of bypass failure and repeat revascularization at a single center. Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of all patients treated with revascularization surgery for MMV between January 2007 and December 2019 was performed. Angiographic data, cerebral blood flow analysis [H2O PET or single-photon emission CT (SPECT)], MRI, and clinical/operative data including follow-up assessments were reviewed. Results: We identified 308 MMV patients with 405 surgically treated hemispheres. Of the 405 hemispheres treated, 15 patients (3.7%) underwent repeat revascularization (median age 38, time to repeat revascularization in 60% of patients was within 1 year of first surgery). The most common cause of repeat revascularization was a symptomatic bypass occlusion (80%). New ischemic lesions were found in 13% of patients prior to repeat revascularization. Persistence of reduced or progressive worsening of cerebrovascular reserve capacity (CVRC) compared with preoperative status was observed in 85% of repeat revascularization cases. Intermediate-flow bypass using a radial artery graft was most commonly used for repeat revascularization (60%) followed by re-superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (re-STA-MCA) bypass (26%). High-flow bypass using a saphenous vein graft and using an occipital artery to MCA bypass was each used once. Following repeat revascularization, no new ischemic events were recorded. Conclusion: Overall, repeat revascularization is needed only in a small percentage of the cases in MMV. A rescue surgery should be considered in those with neurological symptoms and decreased CVRC. Intermediate-flow bypass using a radial artery graft is a reliable technique for patients requiring repeat revascularization. Based on our institutional experience, we propose an algorithm for guiding the decision process in cases of bypass failure.

Abstract
Background Surgical revascularization is the mainstay of treatment in symptomatic patients of moyamoya disease (MMD). Objective The present study analyzed the postoperative angio-architecture in pediatric and adult patients of moyamoya disease. Material and Methods Patients with MMD, both ischemic and hemorrhagic, were subjected to surgery. A superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis was attempted in all. It was augmented by an encephalo-duro-myo-synangiosis), this was labelled as the combined surgical group. In patients where a direct bypass was not possible encephalo-duro-arterio-myo-synangiosis (EDAMS) was performed and these patients were put in the indirect surgery group. In the postoperative period, MRA was performed in all patients to look for (a) graft patency, (b) regression of moyamoya vessels, and (c) degree of surgical neovascularization (as quantified on adapted Matsushima and Inaba grading system). Results Eighty-two patients underwent 131 surgical revascularization procedures. A combined surgery (STA-MCA bypass and EDAMS) was performed in 100 hemispheres and indirect surgery (EDAMS) on 31 sides. In children less than 5 years of age, STA-MCA anastomosis was possible in more than 50% of patients. Clinical improvement was seen in 85.4% of patients. Postoperative MRA demonstrated a patent bypass graft in 97% of cases. Regression of moyamoya vessels was seen in half of the cases and good surgical revascularization (type A and B) was seen in more than 80% of hemispheres in the combined surgery and indirect surgery group. Conclusions Revascularization procedures led to a regression of moyamoya collaterals, appearance of surgical neo angiogenesis, and a graft patency rate of 97%. Surgical group with combined revascularization had a trend towards better collateral development.

Abstract
Background Ischemic events are the most common postoperative complication in bypass surgery for moyamoya disease (MMD), but the risk factors for pediatric MMD remain unclear. The goal of the study was to investigate the risk factors for postoperative ischemic complications in pediatric MMD patients. Methods We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of pediatric MMD cases at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from June 2010 through June 2019. Preoperative clinical variables and radiographic findings were recorded, and logistic regression analysis was carried out to identify the risk factors for postoperative ischemic events. Results A total of 533 operations in 336 patients were included in this study. Postoperative complications occurred after 51 operations (9.6%), including 40/447 indirect bypass procedures, 9/70 direct bypass procedures, and 2/16 combined bypass procedures. Postoperative ischemic events were the most common complication and occurred in 30 patients after 31 procedures (8.9% per patient; 5.8% per operation), including 26/447 indirect bypass procedures, 4/70 direct bypass procedures, and 1/16 combined bypass procedures, and the incidence of these events did not differ significantly between indirect and non-indirect bypass (5.8% vs 5.8%; p = 0.999). Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that older age at operation (OR 1.129, 95% CI 1.011–1.260, p = 0.032) and posterior cerebral artery involvement (OR 2.587, 95% CI 1.030–6.496, p = 0.043) were significantly associated with postoperative ischemic events. Conclusion We speculate that older age at operation and posterior cerebral artery involvement are risk factors for postoperative ischemic events in pediatric MMD patients.

Side-to-side reverse superficial temporal artery to M4 middle cerebral artery bypass for common carotid artery occlusion with bonnet collaterals: illustrative case. JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY: CASE LESSONS 2021; 1:CASE2177.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The bonnet bypass was initially described for common carotid artery occlusion. Considered a second-generation bypass, it augments intracranial perfusion with contralateral external carotid artery flow through an interposition graft running over the scalp vertex. However, the traditional first-generation low-flow superficial temporal artery (STA)-M4 middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass may be enhanced by performing a side-to-side (S-S) bypass with an intraluminal suture technique (fourth-generation bypass) to increase perfusion through antegrade and retrograde flow. OBSERVATIONS The authors present a reimagined S-S STA-M4 bypass in the case of a patient with symptomatic common carotid occlusion, in which the ipsilateral STA filled in a reverse fashion from the contralateral external carotid branches over the scalp vertex (bonnet collaterals). By performing an S-S anastomosis, the authors were able to improve cerebral perfusion and avoid the multiple anastomosis sites of the bonnet bypass. LESSONS The patient had a good recovery with resolution of his preoperative symptoms. Follow-up angiography showed a patent bypass supplying the MCA territory through retrograde flow in the frontal and parietal limbs of the STA, converging at the anastomosis site. In this report, the authors present a new fourth-generation bypass dubbed the “S-S reverse STA-M4 MCA bypass.”

Abstract
BACKGROUND In adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) underwent combined revascularization, cerebral infarction during the acute postoperative phase is common and can lead to neurological dysfunction after revascularization in MMD patients. The aim of this study was to share the experience of individualized perioperative blood pressure (BP) management for adult MMD patients in one single center. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 144 adult patients with MMD who underwent 186 procedures of combined revascularization at our institution from March 2013 to July 2019. Clinical features and outcomes were analyzed, in particular regarding cerebral infarction and hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS). All of the patients received individualized management perioperatively, especially about the blood pressure management according to the characteristics of moyamoya disease. RESULTS Postoperative cerebral infarction and HPS within 14 days after revascularization were recorded. Cerebral infarction occurred in four (2.1%) procedures among four patients. No patients suffered from a malignant cerebral infarction and only one patient had permanent neurological deficits. The incidence of HPS was 10.8% and no one presented with intracranial hemorrhage. All of the symptoms were reversible without any brain parenchymal injury. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that we can decrease the incidence and extent of cerebral infarction in adult MMD patients following combined revascularization by individualized perioperative BP management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For several variants of quasi-moyamoya disease, cerebral revascularization treatment is as effective as it is for the more typical cases of moyamoya disease. Here, we examined a case of moyamoya disease with concurrent congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). On the basis of concurrent underlying disease, the patient was considered to have quasi-moyamoya disease and was treated with cerebral revascularization. CASE DESCRIPTION A 36-year-old female presented with a large cerebral infarction. She was diagnosed with quasi-moyamoya disease on the basis of clinical and imaging features. The ischemic symptoms and cognitive dysfunction improved after combined direct and indirect revascularization. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, this is the first known report of moyamoya disease with concurrent CRS. We treated this patient with revascularization as typical for other quasi-moyamoya conditions including Down syndrome. This case emphasizes the effectiveness of revascularization treatment for moyamoya disease with concurrent CRS for the prevention of ischemic stroke and improvement of cognitive function, despite existing cerebral infarction.

Abstract
The corresponding hemodynamic changes of the internal carotid artery (ICA) after the revascularization surgery for moyamoya disease (MMD) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to analyze the hemodynamic changes of the ipsilateral ICA after the combined direct and indirect extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass. MMD patients undergoing combined EC-IC bypass were retrospectively reviewed. The mean transit time (MTT) of ICA was evaluated by color-coding angiography before revascularization and at follow-up. The MTT defined as the blood transit time between the end of cervical portion (C1) and the C7 segment of ICA. The clinical prognosis was assessed with Matsushima grading system, moyamoya vessel reduction system, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The correlation between hemodynamic parameter and prognosis was analyzed. Subgroup analysis was conducted between different presentations and different ages. Fifty-one patients were identified and the mean imaging follow-up interval was 5.5 months. The ICA-MTT was increased after the combined revascularization (P < 0.001) compared with contralateral ICA. Faster preoperative ICA-MTT was significantly associated with improved mRS in the ischemic group (P = 0.05). The increased ICA-MTT was significantly associated with favorable neoangiogenesis (P = 0.04), moyamoya vessel reduction (> 50%) (P = 0.023), and improved mRS score (P = 0.008). In subgroup analysis, the correlation in the ischemic subgroup and adult subgroup remained significant. In this cohort, the ICA-MTT increased after the combined EC-IC bypass, and there was a positive correlation between the increased blood transit time and favorable outcomes. Color-coding DSA proved to be useful as a quantitative and serial method to monitor postoperative courses after revascularization in MMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pedicled temporoparietal fascial flap (TPFF) with a direct superficial temporal (STA) artery to middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is a novel combined revascularization approach for moyamoya angiopathy (MMA). With this case series, we aim to report the initial experience with pedicled TPFF combined revascularization for MMA treatment. METHODS Data from 14 consecutive patients undergoing pedicled TPFF combined revascularization for MMA between May 2016 and December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients admitted with acute ischemia or a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score >3 were considered high risk. RESULTS Mean ± standard deviation age on surgery was 41.9 ± 15.4 years. Three of 14 patients (21.4%) presented with an mRS score >3. Nine of 14 patients (64.3%) presented with ischemic stroke, 4 of whom (44.4%) had acute ischemia. Direct anastomosis patency was confirmed in all cases postoperatively. Mean hospitalization time was 13 ± 9.3 days and mean follow-up time was 14.1 ± 9.3 months. From admission to follow-up, neurologic status improved in 8 patients (57.1%) and stabilized in 6 patients (42.9%). Overall, 11/14 patients (78.6%) achieved good functional outcome (mRS score ≤2). All patients achieved some radiographic collateral development, with 5 (71.5%) graded as Matsushima A and B. Three patients developed new radiographic ischemia and 3 experienced wound complications, all in the high-risk group. CONCLUSIONS The TPFF combined approach is a viable strategy for revascularization in MMA. This technique may be suboptimal in patients presenting with acute ischemia and/or mRS score >3.

[PMID: 30995556 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2019.04.062] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2018] [Revised: 04/07/2019] [Accepted: 04/08/2019] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of surgical revascularization versus conservative treatment and different surgical modalities, in order to provide evidence for the patient with moyamoya disease (MMD) to choose the appropriate treatment. METHODS We comprehensively searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for articles published regarding MMD treatment. If the I2 value, which evaluated the heterogeneity, was <50%, a fixed-effect model was used; if not, a random effect model was applied. RESULTS Twenty-seven articles were included in the meta-analysis. The surgery group is more advantageous in reducing the risk of future stroke events than conservative treatment in MMD patients (odds ratio [OR] 0.26, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.20-0.33, P < 0.001). In addition, the surgical group also had an advantage in terms of increased cerebral perfusion (OR 7.16, 95% CI 3.28-15.64, P < 0.001) and death due to rebleeding (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.10-0.72, P < 0.01). Direct surgery showed a significant efficacy over indirect surgery (OR 2.03, 95% CI 1.32-3.13, P < 0.01). No obvious difference was found between the direct and indirect bypass subset (OR 0.76, 95% CI 0.51-1.14, P = 0.185). Angiographic results in patients undergoing direct bypass surgery are more pronounced (OR 0.20, 95% CI 0.06-0.67, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In patients with symptomatic moyamoya disease, bypass surgery is more effective than conservative treatment to prevent future strokes. In surgical patients, direct bypass seems to reduce the risk of stroke more than an indirect bypass.

Angiographic and clinical outcomes of non-patent anastomosis after bypass surgery in adult moyamoya disease. Acta Neurochir (Wien) 2019; 161:379-384. [PMID: 30604067 DOI: 10.1007/s00701-018-3733-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2018] [Accepted: 11/07/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical and radiologic outcomes of symptomatic adult moyamoya disease (MMD) patients who have an occluded anastomosis immediately after bypass surgery are poorly studied. The clinical and angiographic outcomes of non-patent anastomosis in symptomatic adult MMD patients were retrospectively reviewed. METHODS From August 2011 to November 2016, 31 revascularization surgeries, consisting of direct and indirect bypass, were performed on 29 adult MMD patients. Primary outcomes were evaluated based on the frequency of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) incidence and the recurrence of cerebral infarction and were assessed as improvement or worsening. RESULTS Among 31 cases, computed tomography angiography (CTA) on the first day after surgery showed patent anastomosis in 20 hemispheres and non-patent anastomosis in 11 hemispheres. Follow-up conventional angiographies showed spontaneous recanalization of non-patent anastomosis in all occlusion cases. The incidence of TIA decreased in both the non-patent and the patent groups. Two newly developed cerebral infarctions were observed, which occurred in the patent group. Patients in the non-patent group also showed clinical improvement after surgery (p = 0.04), and no significant relationship was found between immediate postoperative patency and the primary outcome (p = 0.53). CONCLUSIONS In our series, regardless of patency immediately after bypass surgery, delayed recanalization and clinical improvement can be expected after bypass surgery for adult MMD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVECerebral bypass procedures are microsurgical techniques to augment or restore cerebral blood flow when treating a number of brain vascular diseases including moyamoya disease, occlusive vascular disease, and cerebral aneurysms. With advances in endovascular therapy and evolving evidence-based guidelines, it has been suggested that cerebral bypass procedures are in a state of decline. Here, the authors characterize the national trends in cerebral bypass surgery in the United States from 2002 to 2014.METHODSUsing the National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample, the authors extracted for analysis the data on all adult patients who had undergone cerebral bypass as indicated by ICD-9-CM procedure code 34.28. Indications for bypass procedures, patient demographics, healthcare costs, and regional variations are described. Results were stratified by indication for cerebral bypass including moyamoya disease, occlusive vascular disease, and cerebral aneurysms. Predictors of inpatient complications and death were evaluated using multivariable logistic regression analysis.RESULTSFrom 2002 to 2014, there was an increase in the annual number of cerebral bypass surgeries performed in the United States. This increase reflected a growth in the number of cerebral bypass procedures performed for adult moyamoya disease, whereas cases performed for occlusive vascular disease or cerebral aneurysms declined. Inpatient complication rates for cerebral bypass performed for moyamoya disease, vascular occlusive disease, and cerebral aneurysm were 13.2%, 25.1%, and 56.3%, respectively. Rates of iatrogenic stroke ranged from 3.8% to 20.4%, and mortality rates were 0.3%, 1.4%, and 7.8% for moyamoya disease, occlusive vascular disease, and cerebral aneurysms, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that cerebral bypass for vascular occlusive disease or cerebral aneurysm is a statistically significant predictor of inpatient complications and death. Mean healthcare costs of cerebral bypass remained unchanged from 2002 to 20014 and varied with treatment indication: moyamoya disease $38,406 ± $483, vascular occlusive disease $46,618 ± $774, and aneurysm $111,753 ± $2381.CONCLUSIONSThe number of cerebral bypass surgeries performed for adult revascularization has increased in the United States from 2002 to 2014. Rising rates of surgical bypass reflect a greater proportion of surgeries performed for moyamoya disease, whereas bypasses performed for vascular occlusive disease and aneurysms are decreasing. Despite evolving indications, cerebral bypass remains an important surgical tool in the modern endovascular era and may be increasing in use. Stagnant complication rates highlight the need for continued interest in advancing available bypass techniques or technologies to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a type of chronic cerebrovascular occlusion disease, which frequently occurs in East Asian populations, including pediatric and adult patients, and may lead to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, headache, epilepsy or transient ischemic attack. To date, the underlying mechanisms of MMD have remained to be fully elucidated, but certain studies have indicated that genetic factors may be an important component of its development. Cerebral angiography is the best approach for diagnosing MMD. However, with technological advances, non-invasive techniques are increasingly used to accurately evaluate MMD. MMD is commonly treated via surgery, and an increasing number of patients are benefitting from the intra- and extra-cranial revascularization. The present article provides a comprehensive review of MMD on the basis of previous research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of bypass surgery for adult moyamoya and compare different surgical modalities by performing a comprehensive meta-analysis of relevant studies. METHODS A systematic literature search was performed and articles regarding different treatments for adult patients with moyamoya were included. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated to evaluate stroke recurrence, mortality, perioperative complications, and angiographic revascularization among different surgical methods and conservative treatment (CT). RESULTS A total of 17 studies with 2224 adult patients with moyamoya were included in the meta-analysis. Compared with CT, surgical revascularization significantly decreased the future stroke events in the total population ([OR] 0.404; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.279-0.585; P < 0.001) and in the hemorrhagic-onset patients as well (OR 0.259; 95% CI 0.138-0.486; P < 0.001). However, for those patients with moyamoya and ischemia, there was no significant difference for future stroke events between the bypass and CT groups (OR 0.470; 95% CI 0.140-1.579; P = 0.222). Bypass also showed no mortality reduction compared with CT (OR 0.372; 95% CI 0.120-1.154; P = 0.087). For different surgical techniques, no differences for future stroke events, mortality, and perioperative complications were found between direct bypass and indirect bypass, whereas the degree of angiographic revascularization was better in the direct bypass group than in the indirect group (OR 4.720; 95% CI 1.222-18.230; P = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS The bypass treatment was superior to conservative treatment in preventing recurrent stroke in adult patients with moyamoya, especially in those with a hemorrhagic onset. Direct bypass is associated with better revascularization results compared with indirect bypass.

Abstract
The study objective is to analyze the results of combined (direct and indirect) brain revascularization in adult patients with moyamoya disease. Materials and methods. From February 2015 to August 2016, 12 operations were performed on 12 hemispheres in 7 patients (2 men, 5 women) with moyamoya disease. Six patients had bilateral disease, 1 – unilateral. The age of patients ranged from 25 to 60 year old, the average – 41 year old. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) perfusion imaging of the brain with a stress test was made in every patient, MSCT angiography of the extraand intracranial arteries was perfomed. Stages of the disease were determined according to the Suzuki–Takaku classification: stage III was revealed in 5 patients, stage IV – in 2. To evaluate the clinical course of the disease the Matsushima classification was used: type VI – in 2 cases, type III – in 2, type IV – in 1, type V – in 1. In 1 case, the pathological vascular network of 1 hemisphere was detected by accident. Extracranial-intracranial (EC–IC) bypass and encephaloduromyosynangiosis (EDMS) was used in 3 cases; a double-barreled EC–IC bypass and EDMS – in 3; a double-barreled EC–IC bypass and encephaloduroperiosteomyosynangiosis – in 1; EC–IC bypass and encephaloduroarteriomyosynangiosis (EDAMS) – in 3. In 1 case was perfomed EC–IC bypass and encephaloduroperiosteosynangiosis. Only indirect revascularization was performed in 1 case – EDAMS. We assessed the neurological status in the follow-up period (5–11 months); MSCT angiography and MSCT perfusion imaging of the brain were performed. Results. All patients in follow-up period demonstrated the increase of cerebrovascular reserve according to MSCT perfusion imaging of the brain with stress tests. Stroke, epilepsy, surgical complications were not detected in the postoperative period. In 1 case, the left-hand monoparesis regressed.Conclusion. The combined (direct and indirect) revascularization may be effective in adult patients with moyamoya disease. To obtain more objective conclusions it is necessary to analyze the long-term results of interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the consensus on the efficacy of revascularizing surgery in moyamoya angiopathy (MA) in Asia, the indication in Caucasian moyamoya patients is controversially discussed. OBJECTIVE The efficacy of revascularizing surgery in adult European patients with MA should be clarified. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed the rate of further strokes and hemorrhages as well as MRI and Duplex ultrasound features during long-term follow up after STA-MCA bypass. RESULTS Eighty-one STA-MCA bypass procedures in 54 patients with MA operated in one single German institution were analyzed. All 54 patients (100%) were Caucasians. After two diffusion restricted spots in MRI perioperatively (2.5%) and short-lasting symptoms directly after surgery, no patient experienced further new symptoms related to stroke or hemorrhages nor no new gliotic scars or microbleeds on MRI for 38.2 months. Duplex ultrasound 3 months after surgery documented bypass patency in 100% and sonographic sign for good relevance of the bypass in 96.2%. In addition, the diameter of the donor vessel had increased in 89.9% as an indicator for the relevance of the bypass. Semi-quantitative analysis of perfusion changes in the operated hemispheres demonstrated an increase in perfusion in the MCA territory in 56 of 74 (75.7%) hemispheres 36.7 months after surgery. In MRA images, a reduction of typical moyamoya collaterals was found in 65 of 79 hemispheres (82.3%) after a mean of 37.2 months. CONCLUSION Direct STA-MCA bypass is an effective therapy in Caucasian patients with hemodynamically compromised MA.

Factors of Delayed Hyperperfusion and the Importance of Repeated Cerebral Blood Flow Evaluation for Hyperperfusion After Direct Bypass for Moyamoya Disease. World Neurosurg 2018; 118:e468-e472.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative hyperperfusion is an important complication after direct bypass for moyamoya disease, which sometimes occurs late after initial postoperative cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurement. This study aimed to clarify the incidence of hyperperfusion with management using postoperative continuous sedation and repeated postoperative CBF measurement and to identify factors associated with delayed hyperperfusion. METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 72 consecutive hemispheres in 56 adult Japanese patients with moyamoya disease who underwent direct bypass. Postoperative continuous sedation was routinely administered based on CBF evaluation. First, the incidence of symptomatic hyperperfusion was investigated. Second, radiologic hyperperfusion (RHP), which was strictly defined as >30% increase in CBF compared with the contralateral side, and factors associated with delayed RHP were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Postoperative symptomatic hyperperfusion occurred in 3 hemispheres (4.2%), including subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1 hemisphere (1.4%). RHP immediately after surgery was identified in 16 hemispheres (22.2%). In 8 hemispheres (11.1%), RHP appeared or worsened several days after initial CBF study. In univariate logistic regression analysis, decreased preoperative cerebral vasoreactivity was significantly associated with delayed RHP. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of symptomatic hyperperfusion was 4.2% with management. Delayed hyperperfusion was significantly associated with decreased cerebral vasoreactivity. Therefore, repeated CBF measurements evaluating preoperative cerebral vasoreactivity may decrease complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic strategies for managing hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (MMD) remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the optimal therapy for hemorrhagic MMD. METHODS In accordance with the PRISMA statement, we searched through relevant articles and references from PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane database, and performed a network meta-analysis using R version 3.4.4 software. RESULTS A total of 9 articles (including 1050 patients) were included in our analysis. Of these 1050 patients, 557 underwent surgical revascularization (including direct and indirect bypass), and the remaining 493 patients were managed with a conservative treatment regimen. A pooled analysis revealed that surgical revascularization was superior to the conservative treatment regimen in decreasing the rate of recurrent stroke events (odds ratio [OR], 0.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.24-0.65), including ischemic stroke recurrence (OR, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.12-0.79) and hemorrhage recurrence (OR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.26-0.79), but not in reducing mortality (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.24-1.17). Moreover, the incidence of recurrent stroke in the direct bypass cohort was lower than that for either the conservative treatment cohort (OR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.15-0.58) or the indirect bypass cohort (OR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.18-0.87). However, the ratios showed no statistically significant difference between the latter 2 cohorts (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.33-1.68). CONCLUSIONS Surgical revascularization, especially a direct bypass regimen, may be the optimal strategy for treating hemorrhagic MMD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Moyamoya disease (MMD) is being increasingly diagnosed with the development of radiological surveillance technology and increased accessibility to medical care. Accordingly, there have been several recent reports on treatment outcomes in MMD. In this review, we summarize recent advances in surgical treatment and outcomes of adult MMD, while addressing related controversies. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies suggest that revascularization surgery leads to significantly more favorable outcomes for stroke prevention, angiographic and hemodynamic changes, and clinical outcomes than does conservative treatment for adult patients with ischemic MMD. Moreover, direct revascularization methods should be considered as the first-line treatment over indirect methods, although the latter may be considered if a direct method is not possible. In cases of hemorrhagic MMD, several studies have demonstrated that surgical treatment is more effective than conservative treatment in preventing further hemorrhage. In addition to revascularization surgery, endovascular treatment is emerging as a breakthrough therapy for hemorrhagic MMD. Accumulating evidence regarding the surgical treatment of adult MMD suggests the benefit of revascularization over conservative management for both ischemic and hemorrhagic patients. However, the benefit of revascularization in asymptomatic adult MMD remains unclear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate treatment outcomes of future stroke prevention, perioperative complications, and angiographic revascularization in adults with symptomatic moyamoya disease (MMD) according to treatment modalities and surgical techniques. METHODS A systemic literature review was performed based on searches of the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases. A fixed-effects model was used in cases of heterogeneity less than 50%. Publication bias was determined by Begg's funnel plot, Egger's test of the intercept, and the Begg and Mazumdar rank correlation test. RESULTS Eleven articles were included in the meta-analysis. Bypass surgery significantly decreased the future stroke events compared with conservative treatments in adult MMD (odds ratio [OR] 0.301, p < 0.001). Direct bypass showed better future stroke prevention than indirect bypass (OR 0.494, p = 0.028). There was no meaningful difference in perioperative complications between direct and indirect bypass (OR 0.665, p = 0.176). Direct bypass was associated with better angiographic outcomes than indirect bypass (OR 6.832, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Bypass surgery can be effective in preventing future stoke events in adults with MMD. Direct bypass seems to provide better risk reduction with respect to stroke than indirect bypass in these patients.
