Abstract

abstract A newly modified revascularization procedure for vertebrobasilar insufficiency due to midbasilar stenosis is reported. The approach involves anastomosing the superficial temporal artery to a proximal segment of the superior cerebellar artery. The rationale for the procedure and the surgical technique are discussed.
