Abstract

The effects of superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) double bypass on recurrent hemorrhage in the operated hemisphere in hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (HMD) have not been clearly demonstrated. This study evaluated the effectiveness of STA-MCA double bypass in the prevention of further hemorrhagic or ischemic events in the operated hemispheric sides in comparison to the conservatively treated non-operated sides. We retrospectively analyzed 52 hemispheres of 36 patients with adult-onset HMD treated with STA-MCA double bypass. Twenty and 16 patients underwent unilateral (unilateral group) and bilateral (bilateral group) surgery, respectively. In addition, the perioperative and long-term outcomes of the 52 operated sides and 20 non-operated sides in the unilateral group were compared. All bypass surgeries were successful, but 21% of the operated sides showed hyperperfusion as estimated by our methods. Perioperative mortality and morbidity rate were 0% and 5.6%, respectively. Concerning long-term follow-up, the annual rebleeding rate (ARR) in the unilateral and bilateral group was 2.7% and 2.6%/person-year, respectively (p = 0.256). The ARR in the operated and non-operated sides was 1.1% and 1.8%/side-year, respectively (p = 0.163). Two of 20 non-operated sides suffered from ischemic infarction during the follow-up period, while none of the 52 operated sides experienced ischemic events (p < 0.05). Although the long-term rebleeding rate in the operated hemisphere tended to be lower after STA-MCA double bypass compared with that in the non-operated hemisphere, the difference was not statistically significant. In conclusion, while STA-MCA double bypass could not clearly prevent rebleeding, it can prevent further ischemic attacks in patients with HMD.
