Blood volume flow in the superficial temporal artery assessed by duplex sonography: predicting extracranial-intracranial bypass patency in moyamoya disease

CONCLUSIONS: Duplex sonography is a suitable diagnostic tool to assess STA-MCA bypass function in moyamoya disease. Hemodynamic monitoring of the STA by US provides an excellent predictor of bypass patency.PMID:33836503 | DOI:10.3171/2020.9.JNS202709
