Computed tomographic perfusion in assessing postoperative revascularization in moyamoya disease

This study demonstrates that CTP, a more convenient and less expensive imaging test than other available options, can provide an assessment of cerebral blood flow after cerebral bypass that appears to correlate with postoperative clinical and angiographic findings. In addition, in this small series of moyamoya patients, STA-MCA bypass appeared to prevent recurrent TIAs and strokes.
