Book Description
A luminary in the field of cerebrovascular surgery brings his pace-setting work on the surgical management of moyamoya disease to the neurosurgical community When the rare stroke strikes in children and youth, 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. While there is no cure for moyamoya, a variety of surgical procedures can be performed to re-establish and maintain adequate blood supply to the affected brain areas. The procedures described here include various revascularization techniques and recommended bypasses. Key Features: * With contributions from the world’s most renowned bypass surgeons Perioperative management and considerations. * An overall practical approach to this painstaking high-end surgery. * Detailed criteria for analyzing the situation and choosing the appropriate procedure. * General principles of bypass surgery, direct and indirect revascularization, and combined revascularization techniques. * Step-by-step descriptions of these procedures. * Rescue strategies when repeat surgery is necessary. ‘Surgical Techniques in Moyamoya Vasculopathy’ is an indispensable guide for the experienced neurovascular surgeon.
