Background: The occipital artery (OA) is an important donor artery for intracranial and extracranial bypass surgery, but its path is tortuous, making it difficult to harvest. Part of the traditional intermuscular OA is not covered by muscle and is easily damaged during surgery. Currently, there are few reports on how to protect this segment of the OA.

Background: Previous trials have failed to demonstrate the benefits of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery for patients with carotid or middle cerebral artery occlusion. However, little evidence has focused on the effect of age on prognosis. This study aimed to explore whether EC-IC bypass surgery can provide greater benefits than medical therapy alone in specific age groups.

While extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass is commonly performed by neurosurgeons with specific expertise in cerebrovascular surgery, they can also be performed together with microvascular plastic surgeons. At our institution, some EC-IC bypass cases have evolved to be performed by neurosurgeons and plastic surgeons in a combined approach. Given the plastic surgeons' expertise and volume of experience in performing microvascular surgery, their skills are utilized in performing the donor vessel dissection as well as the bypass itself.

Background: Superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass is a valuable treatment for preventing ischemia and hemorrhage in occlusive cerebrovascular disease. Anastomosis site dissection is rarely reported among the various bypass-related complications.
Case Summary: In this case report, we describe two patients, who were 63- and 59-years-old with middle cerebral artery occlusion treated by STA-MCA bypass.
