Long-term outcome in extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery for severe steno-occlusive disease of intracranial internal carotid or middle cerebral artery

This study suggests that carefully selected patients with severe steno-occlusive disease and significantly abnormal cerebral hemodynamic reserve who undergo extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery, may benefit from long-term prevention of symptomatic cerebral ischemic events.
