Grading of moyamoya disease allows stratification for postoperative ischemia in bilateral revascularization surgery

摘要

Moyamoya disease (MMD) may be graded based on DSA, the presence of ischemia in MRI and cerebrovascular reserve capacity allowing the prediction of ischemic symptoms in patients. Cerebral ischemia represents a severe complication in revascularization surgery. Focusing on different clinical features of hemodynamic impairment, MMD grading may allow prediction of ischemic complications. It was the aim to analyze whether MMD grading stratifies for ischemic complications in revascularization surgery for MMD.
