Background: This study aims to quantitatively evaluate collateralisation angiogenesis ratio (CAR) of external carotid artery and intracranial arterial residual volumes (ARV) postcerebral revascularisation in moyamoya disease (MMD) and elucidate the factors influencing external carotid artery collateralisation.
Methods: The study retrospectively analysed 297 patients diagnosed with MMD who underwent cerebral revascularisation at our University's Hospital, between January 2015 and May 2023. The clinical data, imaging results and surgical specifics for the patients were collected.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of cerebral revascularization for Moyamoya disease (MMD) with extracranial internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO).
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 37 patients diagnosed with MMD with extracranial ICAO who underwent cerebral revascularization surgery. We conducted propensity score matching for MMD patients without extracranial ICAO from database of 932 MMD patients.
Article Synopsis
- The glymphatic system is essential for clearing waste from the brain and preserving cognitive function, and this study investigates its role in Moyamoya disease (MMD), a condition that tightens cerebral arteries and affects brain structure.
- Researchers analyzed 33 MMD patients and 21 healthy individuals using advanced imaging techniques to assess glymphatic function, cerebral blood flow, and cognitive abilities.
- Findings revealed that MMD patients have impaired glymphatic function, observed through lower imaging indices, increased brain structural changes, and significant cognitive deficits compared to controls.
Aim: To evaluate and compare postoperative ischemic complications to determine the risk factors for ischemic complications following revascularization surgery for Moyamoya disease (MMD).
Material And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 266 procedures between 2016 and 2021. Three types of revascularization approaches including direct bypass, indirect bypass, and combined bypass were performed.
Objective: The objective of this retrospective study was to establish a novel system for evaluating collateralization of the external carotid artery in patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) following direct and indirect revascularization surgeries.
Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 456 patients diagnosed with MMD who underwent direct and indirect revascularization procedures at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, between January 2015 and May 2023. Using a newly proposed digital subtraction angiography (DSA)-based evaluation system, the authors assessed collateralization angiogenesis objectively and in a standardized manner.
Objective: The optimal surgical approach for hemorrhagic moyamoya disease (hMMD) continues to be a topic of debate. The authors' prior research demonstrated that both combined and indirect revascularization were efficacious. However, questions remain regarding the long-term prognosis consistency between these two treatments.

Methods: We reviewed 2422 patients with MMD diagnosed at the Neurosurgical Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital between May 2009 and December 2020.
Objective: Severe carotid artery stenosis (CAS) can lead to atrophy of gray matter (GM) and memory impairment; however, the underlying mechanism is unknown. Thus, we aimed to identify memory impairment and GM atrophy and explore the possible correlation between them in patients with asymptomatic severe CAS.
Methods: Twenty-four patients with asymptomatic severe CAS and 10 healthy controls completed the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and clinical memory scale (CMS) and underwent 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
Aim: To clarify perfusion differences, and to determine whether children and adults respond similarly to surgical prevention and how brain perfusion stages before surgery predict outcomes in ischaemic moyamoya disease (MMD) in children and adults.
Material And Methods: A total of 355 patients with ischaemic MMD, including 74 children and 281 adults, were enrolled in the study. Computerized tomography perfusion (CTP) scans were used to identify the perfusion status according to a novel staging system of the pre-infarction period.
