Long-term outcomes and quantitative radiologic analysis of extracranial-intracranial bypass for hemodynamically compromised chronic large artery occlusive disease.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of nonemergent extracranial-to-intracranial bypass (EIB) in symptomatic chronic large artery atherosclerotic stenosis or occlusive disease (LAA) through quantitative analysis of computed tomography perfusion (CTP) parameters using RAPID software. We retrospectively analyzed 86 patients who underwent nonemergent EIB due to symptomatic chronic LAA. CTP data obtained preoperatively, immediately postoperatively (PostOp0), and 6 months postoperatively (PostOp6M) after EIB were quantitatively analyzed through RAPID software, and their association with intraoperative bypass flow (BF) was assessed. The clinical outcomes, including neurologic state, incidence of recurrent infarction and complications, were also analyzed. The time-to-maximum (Tmax) >
