Color Doppler ultrasonography for predicting the patency of anastomosis after superficial temporal to middle cerebral artery bypass surgery

ConclusionCDUS can be utilized for predicting the patency after STA-MCA bypass surgery; if the postoperative (compensated and compared) CDUS parameters increased by more than 47.5% in the MFR or 15% in the CSD, the patency of the anastomosis on DSA would be good.
