Three patients (18%) had combined surgical management by encephelo-synangiosis and superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis, without symptom recurrence after treatment with an average follow up of 14 months.
Combined remote ischemic pre- and post-conditioning can be effective in reducing neurologic complications and the duration of hospitalization in Moyamoya patients undergoing STA-MCA anastomosis.
Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis is the standard surgical management for adult moyamoya disease (MMD) patients, but local cerebral hyperperfusion (CHP) and cerebral ischemia are potential complications of this procedure.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of STA-MCA bypass preceding a high-flow bypass as a means of protecting the brain from ischemia during the high-flow bypass anastomosis in patients with otherwise untreatable aneurysms.

STA-ACA bypass using the ipsilateral free STA graft as an interposition graft and A3-A3 anastomosis for treatment of bilateral ACA steno-occlusive ischemia.
We performed an external carotid artery-to-internal carotid artery bypass through interposing an RA graft to the STA proximally with an end-to-end anastomosis and to the MCA distally using an end-to-side anastomosis.
