[Superficial Temporal Artery:Middle Cerebral Artery Bypass Technique as the Basis for Emergency Revascularization]

The superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery(STA-MCA)bypass technique is extremely important as the basis for both cerebral revascularization in chronic-stage ischemia and emergency surgical revascularization, including open surgical embolectomy. The sophisticated technique of microvascular bypass could also contribute to rescuing inadvertent vascular injuries, such as those occurring in difficult tumor surgery. Therefore, novice neurosurgeons should practice mastering the microvascular suturing technique.
