Angiographic Outcomes of Direct and Combined Bypass Surgery in Moyamoya Disease.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To identify associated risk factors for the angiographic outcomes after direct and combined bypass surgery in moyamoya disease (MMD). Methods: All direct and combined bypass procedures performed from June 2009 to May 2015 were screened in this prospective cohort study. Patients who acquired presurgical and follow-up catheter angiography were included. Bypass patency and postoperative collateral formation were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the influence factors for bypass patency and postoperative collateral formation. Results: In total, 188 consecutive bypass procedures were included. After an 18-month median follow-up, the anastomosis patency rate was 88.3%. Postoperative collateral formation
