Association between angiographic and clinical outcomes after STA-MCA bypass in adult moyamoya disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

As an angiographic outcome, postoperative collateral formation (PCF) is commonly used to evaluate the effect of STA-MCA bypass in moyamoya disease (MMD), but whether it can reliably reflect clinical outcomes is still unclear. We investigated the association between PCF and clinical outcomes in adult MMD.

Methods

All STA-MCA bypass procedures performed from January 2013 to December 2019 were screened in this prospective cohort study. Patients who acquired presurgical and follow-up catheter angiography were included. The clinical outcomes consisted of symptom improvement and recurrent cerebrovascular events. Logistic and Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses were performed to explore the association between PCF and clinical outcomes.
