Noninvasive evaluation of extra-/intracranial anastomoses by dynamic CT and Doppler sonography. 1983

H M Mehdorn, and G Spira, and Z A Jamjoom, and V John

In order to find a reliable noninvasive method of evaluating patency and function of extra-/intracranial arterial bypass, pre- and postoperative angiograms were compared with the results of pre- and postoperative dynamic computed tomographic (CT) scans and Doppler sonographic findings. Doppler sonography alone is a reliable method for determining patency and relative function of the anastomosis. Dynamic CT permits qualitative evaluation of cerebral perfusion and, by comparison of pre- and postoperative scans, assessment of the contribution of the extra-/intracranial bypass to the circulation of the affected hemisphere. Combined use of Doppler sonography and dynamic CT provides sufficient information about the postoperative status of cerebral perfusion to obviate the use of conventional angiography in routine cases.

D002340	Carotid Artery Diseases	Pathological conditions involving the CAROTID ARTERIES, including the common, internal, and external carotid arteries. ATHEROSCLEROSIS and TRAUMA are relatively frequent causes of carotid artery pathology.

D002539	Cerebral Arterial Diseases	Pathological conditions of intracranial ARTERIES supplying the CEREBRUM. These diseases often are due to abnormalities or pathological processes in the ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY; MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY; and POSTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY.

D002548	Cerebral Revascularization	Microsurgical revascularization to improve intracranial circulation. It usually involves joining the extracranial circulation to the intracranial circulation but may include extracranial revascularization (e.g., subclavian-vertebral artery bypass, subclavian-external carotid artery bypass). It is performed by joining two arteries (direct anastomosis or use of graft) or by free autologous transplantation of highly vascularized tissue to the surface of the brain.
