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.

A non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to an aplastic or twig-like middle cerebral artery (Ap/T-MCA) is extremely rare. We describe a case of a non-aneurysmal SAH due to an Ap/T-MCA. A 38-year-old female patient experienced a sudden severe headache and was admitted to our hospital.

Background And Purpose: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel reliable biomarker for IR that incorporates blood glucose and triglyceride, is linked to intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). In this study, we aimed to further investigate the association between the TyG index and the outcomes of ICAS patients following extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass grafting.
Methods: 489 ICAS patients who underwent EC-IC bypass between Jan 2009 and Jan 2022 at our hospital were retrospectively collected.
