Revascularization Surgery

Moyamoya disease is an uncommon vascular disease, which causes obstruction and stenosis of arteries of the circle of Willis, and preferentially affects children and young adults. This disease is seen across the world, but is more common in East Asia. It may cause hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke, or transient ischemic attack. If symptoms or cerebral blood flow become worse, revascularization surgery is recommended. We present 2 cases of moyamoya disease who underwent bypass surgery. We also discuss the epidemiology, pathology, genomics, and symptomatology as well as diagnosis, and management of moyamoya disease.

Among the relatively few surgeons to be awarded the Nobel Prize was Alexis Carrel, a French surgeon and pioneer in revascularization surgery at the turn of the 20th century. The authors trace the humble beginnings of cerebral revascularization surgery through to the major developments that helped shape the modern practice of cerebral bypass surgery. They discuss the cornerstone studies in the development of this technique, including the Extracranial/Intracranial Bypass Study initiated in 1977. Recent innovations, including modern techniques to monitor cerebral blood flow, microanastomosis techniques, and ongoing trials that play an important role in the evolution of this field are also evaluated.

Common Operation

Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS) is a common operation,1 which is often complicated by neurological sequelae.2 Disturbances of cerebral blood flow have been reported up to eight days after surgery and pituitary apoplexy has previously been reported.3–5 We report a case of hypopituitarism without pituitary apoplexy, which developed after a period of sustained arterial hypotension, during coronary artery bypass surgery.
