<P>In rare cases of stroke in children and youths, a likely cause is the idiopathic disease moyamoya, characterized by the slow and progressive stenosis and occlusion of the internal carotid artery and the arteries of the circle of Willis. A result of these stenoses is the formation of collaterals that are typically small and fragile, and liable to rupture.</P> <P>While there is no cure for moyamoya, a variety of surgical procedures can be performed to reestablish and maintain adequate blood supply to the affected brain areas. The procedures described here include various revascularization techniques and recommended bypasses.</P> <P><STRONG>Key Features:</STRONG> <UL> <LI>With contributions from the world’s most renowned bypass surgeons</LI> <LI>Perioperative management and considerations</LI> <LI>An overall practical approach to this painstaking high-end surgery</LI> <LI>Detailed criteria for analyzing the situation and choosing the appropriate procedure</LI> <LI>General principles of bypass surgery, direct and indirect revascularization, and combined revascularization techniques</LI> <LI>Step-by-step descriptions of these procedures</LI> <LI>Rescue strategies when repeat surgery is necessary</LI></UL> <P></P> <P>Surgical Techniques in Moyamoya Vasculopathy is an indispensable guide for the experienced neurovascular surgeon.</P> <P>This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.</P>
