Abstrakt: Background: To compare the effectiveness of the double-barrel and single-branch superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass in the treatment of moyamoya disease.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical records of patients with moyamoya disease treated with either double-barrel bypass or single-branch bypass. Preoperative and postoperative rates of intracerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, epilepsy, transient neurological deficits (TNEs), and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were compared. Cerebral computed tomography perfusion (CTP) values of surgical side MCA were compared preoperatively, and at 1 week and 6 months postoperatively.
Results: A total of 48 patients were enrolled, including 22 in the double-barrel group and 26 in the single-branch group. Between the two groups, there were no significant differences in postoperative hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, epilepsy, TNEs, mRS scores, or CTP values 6 months postoperatively. The CTP value of both groups decreased 1 week after surgery, but improved 6 months later.
Conclusions: Both STA-MCA bypass methods effectively improved cerebral blood perfusion and achieved therapeutic goals. Double-barrel bypass did not increase the risk of perioperative cerebral hemorrhage, infarctions, epilepsies, or TNEs, but it had no significant advantages over single-branch bypass. Double-barrel bypass therefore should not be prioritized over single-branch bypass when electing surgical methods for treating patients with moyamoya disease.
