Short- and long-term outcomes of moyamoya patients post-revascularization

Abstract

In this large, single-center surgical series, most of the adult and pediatric patients had direct revascularization, with a 4.2% per-bypass-procedure (6.8% per patient) 30-day major stroke risk and a 0.6% per-patient-year long-term stroke risk. The authors identified various risk factors that are highly correlated with postoperative morbidity (age, mMRI score, and HDR score) and are involved in ongoing work to develop the predictive modeling for future patient selection and treatment.
