To revascularize ischemic territories of both the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and the middle cerebral artery (MCA), a simple and effective combined bypass operation was performed in 36 pediatric patients with moyamoya disease during the past 8 years. ⋯ These results suggest that the placement of bilateral burr holes (while leaving the frontal branch of the STA intact), in addition to the STA-MCA anastomosis, encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis, and encephalomyosynangiosis, is very effective in vascularizing the ischemic ACA and MCA territories in pediatric patients with moyamoya disease.
