Prediction of contralateral progression in patients with bilateral nonhemorrhagic moyamoya disease following unilateral revascularization surgery.
This study was designed to identify predictive factors associated with substantial contralateral progression in adult patients with bilateral nonhemorrhagic moyamoya disease (MMD) who undergo revascularization surgery (RS) on one hemisphere. ⋯ The study revealed a 7.7% per person-year rate of contralateral progression in patients with bilateral non-hMMD following unilateral RS. Younger age and a BMI ≥ 25 were identified as significant risk factors. For these patients, careful weight management and the use of antilipid agents may be crucial strategies for reducing the risk of contralateral progression after unilateral RS.
