A long-term study of posterior circulation changes after revascularization in patients with moyamoya disease

CONCLUSIONS: Progression of PCA stenosis is common in patients with MMD, even if the PCA is normal initially. Mutations of RNF213 p.R4810K may predict PCA involvement or progression. Follow-up of the PCA in MMD patients should be conducted, and timely surgical revascularization is needed.PMID:37029668 | DOI:10.3171/2023.2.JNS222649
