Internal maxillary artery (IMA) bypass has become popularized due to its medium-to-high blood flow, short graft length, and well-matched arterial caliber between donor and recipient vessels.We described an open surgery of a NEW "workhorse," the IMA bypass, to treat a giant, thrombosed cerebral aneurysm. The extracranial middle infratemporal fossa (EMITF) approach was used to unveil the pterygoid segment of the IMA for cerebral revascularization.Although this technique is technically challenging, the variations in IMA can be effectively identified and sufficiently exposed in this technique to achieve favorable clinical outcomes with a high bypass patency rate. |
