Clinical features and outcomes in 154 patients with haemorrhagic moyamoya disease: comparison of conservative treatment and surgical revascularization.

CONCLUSIONS: Age at the initial bleeding is a risk factor for rebleeding in haemorrhagic MMD. Although surgical revascularization showed the tendency to decrease the rebleeding rate, there was no statistical difference between direct revascularization, indirect revascularization, combined revascularization and conservative treatment in preventing rebleeding. Further study is needed to determine whether surgical revascularization is effective in select population or with certain techniques. PMID: 26159234 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
