Superficial Temporal Artery Duplex Ultrasonography for Improved Cerebral Hemodynamics after Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass Surgery

Abstract

STDU was available for evaluating postsurgical patency of the bypass flow and the rCBF of the ipsilateral MCA territory. The mean blood flow velocity of the operated STA is a highly sensitive parameter for predicting rCBF in the ipsilateral MCA territory after EC-IC bypass.
