[Hemodynamic effects of STA-MCA anastomosis on patients with occlusion of the main cerebral artery].
We studied cerebral circulation in patients with occlusion of the main cerebral artery and investigated the efficacy of STA-MCA anastomosis. ⋯ STA-MCA anastomosis could improve cerebral circulation of patients with low CBF or low CVR due to occlusion of the main cerebral arterial. It was concluded that STA-MCA anastomosis may contribute to the reduction of stroke recurrence, if perioperative complications are reduced.
