    Superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass surgery effectively treated patients with transient ischemic attacks caused by internal carotid artery occlusion. The procedure significantly reduced or eliminated recurrent attacks in most patients, demonstrating its therapeutic potential.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Vascular Neurology
    • Cerebrovascular Disease

    Background:

    • Cerebral transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) pose a significant stroke risk.
    • Internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion is a common cause of TIAs.
    • Limited effective treatments exist for TIAs due to ICA occlusion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery.
    • To assess the impact of STA-MCA bypass on recurrent TIAs in patients with ICA occlusion.
    • To compare surgical outcomes with conservative management.

    Main Methods:

    • Thirty-one patients with TIAs and unilateral ICA occlusion underwent STA-MCA anastomosis.
    • Surgical success was defined by patent anastomosis.

  • Clinical outcomes, including recurrent TIAs and strokes, were monitored during follow-up.
  • A control group of seven patients who refused surgery was also observed.

    • Main Results:

    • The STA-MCA anastomosis was technically successful in 28 out of 31 patients.
    • Recurrent TIAs were completely abolished in 23 patients and reduced in three.
    • Only two patients experienced strokes post-surgery, one with a patent anastomosis.
    • In the non-operative group, two patients had strokes, and others showed varied TIA symptom changes.

    Conclusions:

    • STA-MCA bypass surgery is a highly effective treatment for preventing recurrent TIAs in selected patients with ICA occlusion.
    • The surgical intervention significantly improves neurological outcomes compared to non-operative management.
    • STA-MCA bypass offers a promising therapeutic option for managing cerebrovascular insufficiency due to ICA occlusion.
