“Reverse” Bypass Using a Naturally Formed “Bonnet” Superficial Temporal Artery in Symptomatic Common Carotid Artery Occlusion: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We herein describe a patient with symptomatic common carotid artery occlusion who underwent a reverse superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) single bypass using a naturally formed "bonnet" STA. The surgical procedure was performed without difficulty, and no further neurological deterioration was observed after surgery. In practice, this case highlights that the reverse STA-MCA bypass can be achieved safely and less invasively using a naturally formed "bonnet" STA.

Staged cerebral revascularization in a patient with an occluded common carotid artery.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We report a management strategy for cerebral revascularization in a patient with an occluded common carotid artery by first performing a subclavian to external carotid artery bypass, followed by superficial temporal artery middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass. METHODS The patient presented with symptomatic left hemispheric hemodynamic insufficiency, associated with o...
متن کاملC-Port Flex-A-assisted automated anastomosis for high-flow extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery in patients with symptomatic carotid artery occlusion: a feasibility study. Clinical article.
OBJECT Preliminary experience with the C-Port Flex-A Anastomosis System (Cardica, Inc.) to enable rapid automated anastomosis has been reported in coronary artery bypass surgery. The goal of the current study was to define the feasibility and safety of this method for high-flow extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery in a clinical series. METHODS In a prospective study design, patien...
متن کاملSuperficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery anastomosis for neovascular glaucoma due to common carotid artery occlusion
BACKGROUND Common carotid artery (CCA) occlusion sometimes requires surgical revascularization to resolve persistent cerebral/ocular ischemia. High-flow bypass is often indicated in these cases, using the interposed graft such as saphenous vein and radial artery. However, high-flow bypass surgery is invasive and may provide excessive blood flow to ischemic brain. In this report, we present a ca...
متن کاملEmergent surgical embolectomy in conjunction with cervical internal carotid ligation and superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass to treat acute tandem internal carotid and middle cerebral artery occlusion due to cervical internal carotid artery dissection
BACKGROUND Acute tandem cervical dissecting internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion and intracranial embolic middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion can be devastating, and the optimal treatment strategy for this condition has not been established yet. CASE DESCRIPTION A 45-year-old male presented with aphasia and right hemiparesis preceded by neck pain. Computed tomography showed a high-densi...
متن کاملSTA-MCA Bypass as a “Bridge” to Pituitary Surgery in a Patient with an Adenoma Occluding the Internal Carotid Artery: Case Report and Review of the Literature
Occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) by a pituitary adenoma with resulting cerebral ischemia is a very rare but devastating occurrence. The authors present a case in which a condition of symptomatic ICA occlusion due to a giant pituitary adenoma was successfully treated using a preliminary extraintracranial bypass as a "bridge" to the tumor removal. A 52-year-old patient ...
