The evaluation of intracranial bypass patency in neurosurgical practice

The patency of cranial bypasses must be carefully evaluated during and after the microsurgical procedure. Although, several imaging techniques are used to evaluate the patency of bypasses, their findings are sometimes difficult to interpret. The goal of this study was to assess the consistency of di...

Description
Summary:The patency of cranial bypasses must be carefully evaluated during and after the microsurgical procedure. Although, several imaging techniques are used to evaluate the patency of bypasses, their findings are sometimes difficult to interpret. The goal of this study was to assess the consistency of different diagnostic modalities for evaluating intracranial bypass patency. This prospective study included 19 consecutive patients treated with EC-IC or IC-IC bypass for MoyaMoya disease (MMD) or complex/giant aneurysms between June 2016 and June 2018. In the early postoperative period (
