Fatal subdural bleeding following superficial temporal-middle cerebral artery anastomosis. Case report. 1980

T A Leclercq, and M W Ambler

This report describes a sudden death during convalescence from superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery. Artificial arterial anastomosis introduces the danger of a high-pressure subdural hemorrhage in an unnatural location.

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.
