Superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery anastomosis patency correlates with cerebrovascular reserve in adult moyamoya syndrome patients.

CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that improvement in cerebral perfusion and CVR depends on flow in the STA-MCA anastomosis in patients with Moyamoya syndrome. Systematic long-term follow-up of anastomosis flow, brain perfusion and CVR improves quantification of the benefit of STA-MCA anastomosis in terms of disease progression.
