Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive steno-occlusive cerebrovascular disease leading to recurrent stroke. There is a lack of reliable biomarkers to identify unilateral stroke MMD patients who are likely to progress to bilateral disease and experience subsequent contralateral stroke(s). We hypothesized that local hemodynamics are predictive of future stroke and set out to noninvasively assess this stroke risk in pediatric MMD patients. MR and X-ray angiography imaging were utilized to reconstruct patient-specific models of the circle of Willis of six pediatric MMD patients who had previous strokes, along with a control subject. Blood flow simulations were performed by using a Navier–Stokes solver within an isogeometric analysis framework. Vascular regions with a wall shear rate (WSR) above the coagulation limit (>5,000 s−1) were identified to have a higher probability of thrombus formation, potentially leading to ischemic stroke(s). Two metrics, namely, “critical WSR coverage” and “WSR score,” were derived to assess contralateral stroke risk and compared with clinical follow-up data. In two patients that suffered a contralateral stroke within 2 months of the primary stroke, critical WSR coverages exceeding 50% of vessel surface and WSR scores greater than 6× the control were present in multiple contralateral vessels. These metrics were not as clearly indicative of stroke in two additional patients with 3–5 year gaps between primary and contralateral strokes. However, a longitudinal study of one of these two cases, where a subsequent timepoint was analyzed, suggested disease stabilization on the primary stroke side and an elevated contralateral stroke risk, which was confirmed by patient outcome data. This indicates that post-stroke follow-up at regular intervals might be warranted for secondary stroke prevention. The findings of this study suggest that WSR-based metrics could be predictive of future stroke risk after an initial stroke in pediatric MMD patients. In addition, better predictions may be possible by performing patient-specific hemodynamic analysis at multiple timepoints during patient follow-up to monitor changes in the WSR-based metrics.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by narrowing of the distal internal carotid artery and the circle of Willis (CoW) and leads to recurring ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. A retrospective review of data from 50 pediatric MMD patients revealed that among the 24 who had a unilateral stroke and were surgically treated, 11 (45.8%) had a subsequent, contralateral stroke. There is no reliable way to predict these events. After a pilot study in Acta-/- mice that have features of MMD, we hypothesized that local hemodynamics are predictive of contralateral strokes and sought to develop a patient-specific analysis framework to noninvasively assess this stroke risk. A pediatric MMD patient with an occlusion in the right middle cerebral artery and a right-sided stroke, who was surgically treated and then had a contralateral stroke, was selected for analysis. By using an unsteady Navier-Stokes solver within an isogeometric analysis framework, blood flow was simulated in the CoW model reconstructed from the patient's postoperative imaging data, and the results were compared with those from an age- and sex-matched control subject. A wall shear rate (WSR) > 60,000 s-1 (about 12 × higher than the coagulation threshold of 5000 s-1 and 9 × higher than control) was measured in the terminal left supraclinoid artery; its location coincided with that of the subsequent postsurgical left-sided stroke. A parametric study of disease progression revealed a strong correlation between the degree of vascular morphology altered by MMD and local hemodynamic environment. The results suggest that an occlusion in the CoW could lead to excessive contralateral WSRs, resulting in thromboembolic ischemic events, and that WSR could be a predictor of future stroke.

Abstract
To evaluate the clinical value of NeuroGam software in assessing the brain foci perfusion changes by TC-ECD single photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) brain imaging in patients with Moyamoya Disease (MMD).Seventy-two patients with MMD who underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass combined with encephalo-duro-myo-synangiosis (EDMS) surgical revascularization were included. Baseline and follow-up TC-ECD SPECT/CT brain scans were performed on all patients at least twice before and after operation. Pre- and post-SPECT dicom images were reoriented into Talairach space using NeuroGam Software package. Additional visual analysis was performed. Differences mean pixel value between pre- and post- operation brain perfusion were assessed with paired t test and McNemar test.Significant differences in the number of hypoperfusion foci were found between visual assessment and NeuroGam aided assessment. More hypoperfusion foci were found by NeuroGam software aided assessment in the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital lobe, thalamus, basal ganglia and cerebellum before and after surgery (P < .0001). According to NeuroGam software assessment, the perfusion of frontal, parietal, temporal lobe, anterior and middle cerebral regions on the operative side significantly improved before and after surgery (t = -3.734, t = -3.935, t = -5.099, t = -4.006, t = -5.170, all P < .001). However, no significant differences were found in the occipital lobe (t = -1.962, P = .054), thalamus (t = 1.362, P = .177), basal ganglia (t = -2.394, P = .019), and cerebellum (t = 1.383, P = .171) before and after surgery.The NeuroGam software provides a quantitative approach for monitoring surgical effect of MMD in a variable time (3-12 months after surgery). It could discover the perfusion changes that are neglected in conventional visual assessment.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of Tai Chi compared with no exercise control on the cerebral hemodynamic parameters and other health-related factors in community older adults at risk of ischemic stroke. A total of 170 eligible participants were randomly allocated to Tai Chi or control group. The cerebral hemodynamic parameters and physical fitness risk factors of cardiovascular disease were measured at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. After the 12-week intervention, Tai Chi significantly improved the minimum of blood flow velocity (BFVmin); BFVmean; pulsatility index and resistance index of the right anterior cerebral artery; and BFVmax, BFVmin, and BFVmeanparameters of the right middle cerebral artery. Tai Chi training also decreased triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, and homocysteine levels, and improved balance ability. Therefore, the supervised 12-week Tai Chi exercise had potential beneficial effects on cerebral hemodynamics, plasma risk factors, and balance ability in older community adults at risk of ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Depending on the adequacy of collateral sources of blood flow, arterial stenosis or occlusion may lead to reduced perfusion pressure and ultimately reduced blood flow in the distal territory supplied by that vessel. There are two well-defined compensatory mechanisms to reduced pressure or flow - autoregulatory vasodilation and increased oxygen extraction fraction. Other changes, such as metabolic downregulation, are likely. The positive identification of autoregulatory vasodilation and increased oxygen extraction fraction in humans is an established risk factor for future ischemic stroke in some disease states such as atherosclerotic carotid stenosis and occlusion. The mechanisms by which ischemic stroke may occur are not clear, and may include an increased vulnerability to embolic events. The use of hemodynamic assessment to identify patients with occlusive vasculopathy at an increased risk for stroke is very appealing for several different patient populations, such as those with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease, moyamoya phenomenon, complete internal carotid artery occlusion, and asymptomatic cervical carotid artery stenosis. While there is very good data for stroke risk prediction in some of these groups, no intervention based on these tools has been proven effective yet. In this manuscript, we will review these topics above and identify areas for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The grading system for moyamoya disease is not established. OBJECTIVE To assess the usefulness of a recently proposed grading system for stratifying the clinical severity and predicting postoperative morbidity in adult moyamoya disease. METHODS We investigated 176 hemispheres from 89 adult patients who were diagnosed with moyamoya disease in Japan. Their data were analyzed using the Berlin grading system with minor modifications. After summarizing the numerical values for digital subtraction angiography (1-3 points), magnetic resonance imaging (0-1 points), and single-photon emission computed tomography (0-2 points), 3 grades of moyamoya disease were defined: mild (grade I) = 1 to 2 points, moderate (grade II) = 3 to 4 points, and severe (grade III) = 5 to 6 points. In total, 82 of 161 hemispheres underwent superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis and indirect synangiosis. Postoperative neurological morbidity was included within 30 d after surgery. RESULTS Preoperative examinations categorized 87 hemispheres as grade I, 39 as grade II, and 50 as grade III. There was a significant correlation between the Berlin grading system and clinical severity (P < .001). Perioperative complications occurred in 12 of 82 (14.6%) hemispheres, including transient ischemic attack in 3 hemispheres, ischemic stroke in 4 hemispheres, symptomatic hyperperfusion in 4 hemispheres, and intracerebral hemorrhage in 1 hemisphere. The Berlin grading system was related to their occurrence (P < .001). CONCLUSION The Berlin grading system facilitates the stratification of clinical severity and predicting postoperative neurological morbidity in adult moyamoya disease, thereby suggesting its general usage in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cerebral revascularization techniques are an indispensable tool in the current armamentarium of vascular neurosurgeons. We present revascularization surgery experience and results in both moyamoya disease and occlusive cerebral ischaemia. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with ischaemic occlusive disease and moyamoya disease who underwent microsurgical revascularization between October 2014 and September 2017 were analysed. RESULTS In the study period, 23 patients with occlusive ischaemic disease underwent microsurgical revascularization. Three patients presented with serious postoperative complications (2 intraparenchymal haemorrhages in the immediate postoperative period and one thrombosis of the femoral artery). All patients, except one, achieved normalization of the cerebral hemodynamic reserve (CHR) in the SPECT study. Twenty patients had a good neurological result, with no ischaemic recurrence of the revascularized territory. Among patients with moyamoya, 20 had moyamoya disease and 5 had moyamoya syndrome with unilateral involvement. Five patients were treated at paediatric age. Haemorrhagic onset occurred in 2 patients. The CHR study showed hemodynamic compromise in all patients. Cerebral SPECT at one year showed resolution of the hemodynamic failure in all patients. There have been 4 postoperative complications (acute subdural hematoma, two subdural collections and one dehiscence of the surgical wound). No patient presented with neurological worsening at 6 and 12months of follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Cerebral revascularization through end-to-side anastomosis between the superficial temporal artery and a cortical branch of the middle cerebral artery is an indisputable technique in the treatment of moyamoya disease and possibly in a subgroup of patients with symptomatic occlusive ischaemic cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a unique cerebrovascular disease characterized by the progressive stenosis of large intracranial arteries and a hazy network of basal collaterals, called moyamoya vessels. Although hemodynamic studies have been applied in MMD patients, the mechanisms of stroke in MMD are still unclear. The present study evaluated the infarct pattern and collateral status using multimodal magnetic resonance imaging in MMD patients. METHODS Adult MMD patients with acute ischemic stroke were prospectively recruited, and infarct pattern on diffusion-weighted imaging was evaluated. A collateral flow map, derived from magnetic resonance perfusion-weighted imaging data, was generated through automatic postprocessing, and collateral status was assigned into 3 grades. Transcranial Doppler monitoring was performed to detect microembolic signals in selected patients. RESULTS A total of 67 hemispheres (31 patients with bilateral and 5 patients with unilateral MMD) were analyzed. Most patients (83.7%) showed embolic pattern and rarely deep (9.3%) or hemodynamic infarct pattern (7.0%) on diffusion-weighted imaging. Most cases (86%) showed good collateral status, and few patients with acute infarcts of embolic pattern showed poor collateral status (n=7). One third (31.6%) of patients who underwent transcranial Doppler monitoring showed microembolic signals. CONCLUSIONS In the studied population of adult MMD patients, embolic phenomenon played an important role in ischemic stroke. Therapeutic strategies against thromboembolism, as well as collateral enhancing strategies targeting improvement of hemodynamic status or increased washout of emboli, are warranted.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic cerebrovascular disease involving progressive bilateral stenosis of the intracranial segments of the internal carotid arteries. It results in the development of a rich, but friable collateral supply, prone to rupture. The disease is well described in Japanese literature and was originally thought to be a predozminantly Eastern disease. However, the recent literature describes a Western phenotype that may present with a different clinical course. This review aims to describe the variations in the epidemiology of the MMD between Eastern and Western populations, the possible reasons for them and highlight their implications for clinical practise and future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In moyamoya disease (MMD), cerebral revascularization is recommended in patients with recurrent or progressive ischemic events and associated reduced cerebral perfusion reserve. Low-flow bypass with or without indirect revascularization is generally the standard surgical treatment. Intraoperative monitoring of cerebral partial pressure of oxygen (PtiO2) with polarographic Clark-type probes in cerebral artery bypass surgery for MMD-induced chronic cerebral ischemia has not yet been described. OBJECTIVE To describe basal brain tissue oxygenation in MMD patients before revascularization as well as the immediate changes produced by the surgical procedure using intraoperative PtiO2 monitoring. METHODS Between October 2011 and January 2013, all patients with a diagnosis of MMD were intraoperatively monitored. Cerebral oxygenation status was analyzed based on the Ptio2/PaO2 ratio. Reference thresholds of PtiO2/PaO2 had been previously defined as below 0.1 for the lower reference threshold (hypoxia) and above 0.35 for the upper reference threshold (hyperoxia). RESULTS Before STA-MCA bypass, all patients presented a situation of severe tissue hypoxia confirmed by a PtiO2/PaO2 ratio <0.1. After bypass, all patients showed a rapid and sustained increase in PtiO2, which reached normal values (PtiO2/PaO2 ratio between 0.1 and 0.35). One patient showed an initial PtiO2 improvement followed by a decrease due to bypass occlusion. After repeat anastomosis, the patient's PtiO2 increased again and stabilized. CONCLUSION Direct anastomosis quickly improves cerebral oxygenation, immediately reducing the risk of ischemic stroke in both pediatric and adult patients. Intraoperative PtiO2 monitoring is a very reliable tool to verify the effectiveness of this revascularization procedure.

Abstract
Moyamoya is a rare disorder that involves steno-occlusive arterial changes of the anterior circulation, along with proliferative development of basal arterial collaterals. It is either idiopathic (called moyamoya disease) or the result of a specific underlying condition such as atherosclerosis, radiation therapy, or sickle cell disease (called moyamoya syndrome or phenomenon). In recent years, numerous insights into and advances in the understanding, evaluation, and management of moyamoya patients have occurred. This article briefly reviews the spectrum of moyamoya conditions and then provides a synopsis of numerous recent investigations that shed light on various aspects of the disease, including its clinical characteristics, natural history, underlying pathology, imaging, surgical techniques, and long-term patient outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebrovascular collaterals have been increasingly recognized as predictive of clinical outcomes in Moyamoya disease in Asia. The aim of this study was to characterize collaterals in North American adult patients with Moyamoya disease and to assess whether similar correlations are valid. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with Moyamoya disease (n = 39; mean age, 43.5 ±10.6 years) and age- and sex-matched control subjects (n = 33; mean age, 44.3 ± 12.0 years) were graded via angiography. Clinical symptoms of stroke or hemorrhage were graded separately by imaging. Correlations between collateralization and disease severity, measured by the modified Suzuki score, were evaluated in patients with Moyamoya disease by fitting a regression model with clustered ordinal multinomial responses. RESULTS The presence of leptomeningeal collaterals (P = .008), dilation of the anterior choroidal artery (P = .01), and the posterior communicating artery/ICA ratio (P = .004) all correlated significantly with disease severity. The presence of infarct or hemorrhage and posterior steno-occlusive disease did not correlate significantly with the modified Suzuki score (P = .1). Anterior choroidal artery changes were not specific for hemorrhage. Patients with Moyamoya disease were statistically more likely than controls to have higher posterior communicating artery/ICA ratios and a greater incidence of leptomeningeal collaterals. CONCLUSIONS As with Moyamoya disease in Asian patients, the presence of cerebrovascular collaterals correlated with the modified Suzuki score for disease severity in North American patients with Moyamoya disease. However, anterior choroidal artery changes, which correlated with increased rates of hemorrhage in Asian studies, were not specific to hemorrhage in North Americans.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between angiographic measures of Moyamoya disease and tissue-level impairment from measurements of tissue perfusion and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR). MATERIALS AND METHODS The relationship between perfusion-weighted arterial spin labeling (ASL) and hypercarbic blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) CVR and time-to-peak (TTP) were compared with angiographically measured risk factors, including arterial circulation time (ACT) and modified Suzuki Score (mSS) in patients (n = 15) with Moyamoya disease. RESULTS Hemodynamic contrasts provided information not apparent from structural or angiographic imaging. Mean z-statistics demonstrate that BOLD is significantly (P = 0.017) higher in low mSS hemispheres (z-statistic = 5.0 ± 2.5) compared with high mSS hemispheres (z-statistic = 3.7 ± 1.7), suggesting that regions with less advanced stages of Moyamoya disease have higher reactivity. After correcting for multiple comparisons, a strong trend for a direct relationship (R = 0.38; P = 0.03) between BOLD TTP and ACT was observed, and a significant inverse relationship between CBF and ACT (R = -0.47; P = 0.01) was found, demonstrating that BOLD and ASL contrasts reflect DSA measures of vascular compromise in Moyamoya disease, albeit with different sensitivity. CONCLUSION Correlative measures between angiography and hemodynamic methods suggest that BOLD and ASL could be used for expanding the diagnostic imaging infrastructure in Moyamoya patients and potentially tracking tissue response to revascularization.

Abstract
OBJECT Moyamoya disease is an occlusive cerebrovascular disorder commonly resulting in neurocognitive impairment. The cognitive outcome parameters commonly affected are intelligence, memory, executive function, and quality of life. In this paper, the authors review the existing literature on cognitive and clinical outcomes in adult and pediatric moyamoya populations separately. METHODS A systematic review of the cognitive and clinical outcome literature was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE database. Outcomes data were contrasted between adult and pediatric populations. RESULTS Intelligence is the main cognitive outcome parameter affected in pediatric patients with moyamoya disease, whereas adults most commonly suffer from executive function impairment. Memory has not been studied sufficiently in pediatric patients, and its dysfunction in the adult population remains controversial. Quality of life has not been studied appropriately in either population. Surgical revascularization is the only beneficial treatment option, and a combination of direct and indirect bypass techniques has shown benefit, but the impact on the above-mentioned parameters has not been sufficiently elucidated. CONCLUSIONS Moyamoya disease affects the cognition and daily function in pediatric patients to a greater extent than in adult patients. Due to the rarity of the disease, there is a distinct lack of high-level evidence regarding cognitive and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Changes in cerebral hemodynamics underlie a broad spectrum of ischemic cerebrovascular disorders. An ability to accurately and quantitatively measure hemodynamic (cerebral blood flow and cerebral blood volume) and related metabolic (cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen) parameters is important for understanding healthy brain function and comparative dysfunction in ischemia. Although positron emission tomography, single-photon emission tomography, and gadolinium-MRI approaches are common, more recently MRI approaches that do not require exogenous contrast have been introduced with variable sensitivity for hemodynamic parameters. The ability to obtain hemodynamic measurements with these new approaches is particularly appealing in clinical and research scenarios in which follow-up and longitudinal studies are necessary. The purpose of this review is to outline current state-of-the-art MRI methods for measuring cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen and provide practical tips to avoid imaging pitfalls. MRI studies of cerebrovascular disease performed without exogenous contrast are synopsized in the context of clinical relevance and methodological strengths and limitations.

Abstract
We present a method allowing determination of resting cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO₂) from MRI and end-tidal O₂ measurements acquired during a pair of respiratory manipulations producing different combinations of hypercapnia and hyperoxia. The approach is based on a recently introduced generalization of calibrated MRI signal models that is valid for arbitrary combinations of blood flow and oxygenation change. Application of this model to MRI and respiratory data during a predominantly hyperoxic gas manipulation yields a specific functional relationship between the resting BOLD signal M and the resting oxygen extraction fraction OEF₀. Repeating the procedure using a second, primarily hypercapnic, manipulation provides a different functional form of M vs. OEF₀. These two equations can be readily solved for the two unknowns M and OEF₀. The procedure also yields the resting arterial O₂ content, which when multiplied by resting cerebral blood flow provides the total oxygen delivery in absolute physical units. The resultant map of oxygen delivery can be multiplied by the map of OEF₀ to obtain a map of the resting cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO₂) in absolute physical units. Application of this procedure in a group of seven human subjects provided average values of 0.35 ± 0.04 and 6.0 ± 0.7% for OEF₀ and M, respectively in gray-matter (M valid for 30 ms echo-time at 3T). Multiplying OEF₀ estimates by the individual values of resting gray-matter CBF (mean 52 ± 5 ml/100 g/min) and the measured arterial O₂ content gave a group average resting CMRO₂ value of 145 ± 30 μmol/100 g/min. The method also allowed the generation of maps depicting resting OEF, BOLD signal, and CMRO₂.

Abstract
Background and Purpose—
Moyamoya disease is characterized by chronic stenoocclusive vasculopathy involving the distal supraclinoid internal carotid arteries and presents with ischemic or hemorrhagic symptoms. We review advances in the understanding and management of moyamoya disease.
Summary of Review—
Cerebral revascularization, either direct or indirect, is the cornerstone of treatment for moyamoya disease. Recent advances have been made in understanding the molecular biology and pathophysiology of moyamoya disease, and new genetic mutations and deletions have been identified. Imaging for moyamoya disease is also rapidly improving with new sequences of MRI and better methods of assessing ischemia and cerebrovascular reserve. Positron emission tomography has emerged as an important tool to measure cerebrovascular reserve. Novel surgical techniques assess patency and ischemia during superficial temporal to middle cerebral artery bypass, including indocyanine green videoangiography to evaluate anastomosis patency, and various methods to monitor intraoperative blood flow. Newer methods of indirect revascularization have been described with placement of more tissues supplied by the external carotid artery on the brain surface. Postoperative hyperperfusion to the chronically ischemic brain tissue is a recently identified causative factor of complications. Interestingly, complications from hyperperfusion mimic those caused by ischemia, although they have different treatments, making the role of postoperative blood flow assessment important in distinguishing between the two. Awareness has also increased that even asymptomatic patients can experience significant cognitive decline attributable to chronic ischemia. Whether this reverts after successful revascularization requires investigation.
Conclusions—
Surgical revascularization with direct, indirect, and combined methods remains the preferred procedure for patients with moyamoya disease.
