Abstract
Bypass revascularization helps prevent complications in Moyamoya Disease (MMD). To systematically review complications associated with combined direct and indirect (CB) bypass in MMD and analyze differences between the adult and pediatric populations. A systematic literature review was conducted per PRISMA guidelines. PUBMED, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL, were queried from January 1980 to March 2022. Complications were defined as any event in the immediate post-surgical period of a minimum 3 months follow-up. Exclusion criteria included lack of surgical complication reports, non-English articles, and CB unspecified or reported separately. 18 final studies were included of 1580 procured. 1151 patients (per study range = 10-150, mean = 63.9) were analyzed. 9 (50.0%) studies included pediatric patients. There were 32 total hemorrhagic, 74 total ischemic and 16 total seizure complications, resulting in a rate of 0.04 (95% CI 0.03, 0.06), 0.7 (95% CI 0.04, 0.10) and 0.03 (95% CI 0.02, 0.05), respectively. The rate of hemorrhagic complications in the pediatric showed no significant difference from the adult subgroup (0.03 (95% CI 0.01-0.08) vs. 0.06 (95% CI 0.04-0.10, p = 0.19), such as the rate of ischemic complications (0.12 (95% CI 0.07-0.23) vs. 0.09 (95% CI 0.05-0.14, p = 0.40). Ischemia is the most common complication in CB for MMD. Pediatric patients had similar hemorrhagic and ischemic complication rates compared to adults.

Brain Circ 2022; 8:94-101. [PMID: 35909708 PMCID: PMC9336593 DOI: 10.4103/bc.bc_20_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 05/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many cases of moyamoya disease are refractory to conventional medical therapy, hence surgical revascularization techniques have emerged as one of the primary choices of treatment. In this study, we present the functional and angiographic outcomes of patients undergoing encephalo-duro-arterio-myo-synangiosis (EDAMS). METHODS: This is a retrospective observational cohort study, done over 8 years (2012–2020) in a neurological center in Eastern India. Data were retrieved from the hospital's electronic system, recorded in a standard data abstract sheet, and analyzed. RESULTS: This study included 75 patients, with a male (n = 42; 56.0%) preponderance. Majority belonged to the pediatric age group (≤18 years) (n = 70; 93.3%); remaining adult population included 5 (6.6%) patients. The most common presenting complaint was that of an ischemic cerebrovascular accident (CVA) (n = 57; 76.0%). Symptomatic hemispheres (n = 69; 92.0%) were treated and later followed if they had progressed to bilateral disease formation. Preoperative DSA showed 50 (71.4%) to have Suzuki grade 3 type of angiographic findings. Postoperative complications included worsening unilateral hemiparesis 4 (40%), slurring of speech (n = 2; 20.0%), hematoma (n = 2; 20.0%), and surgical site infection (n = 2; 20.0%). One patient succumbed to his illness on the second postoperative day. A postoperative angiogram showed regression of moyamoya vessels in the majority (n = 69; 93.3%) of patients. All (n = 74; 100%) had an intensification of transdural vessels; none had a regression. None of the study participants showed an intensification of moyamoya vessels. Many of our patients (83.8%) had a good grade of revascularization (modified Matsushima and Inaba A and B), while 16.2% had low-grade revascularization (grade C). On assessing outcomes using a modified Rankin Score, a large number of our patients had an excellent (n = 45, 60%) neurological outcomes. CONCLUSION: There was a bimodal age distribution with most of them presenting with ischemic CVA. This procedure (EDAMS) had good angiographic (Matsushima and Inaba) and functional (modified Rankin Score) outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most difficult problems in surgical treatment of moyamoya disease is prevention of ischemic perioperative complications. The risk of these events is significantly higher compared to other cerebrovascular diseases (up to 30%). OBJECTIVE To identify unfavorable prognostic factors of perioperative cerebral ischemic complications, to determine the group of high-risk patients and to develop the guidelines for perioperative management of these patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS We analyzed clinical and diagnostic data and postoperative outcomes in 80 patients with various forms of moyamoya disease. These patients underwent 134 different interventions. Staged revascularization of both hemispheres was performed in 40 patients (80 surgeries). Most patients (n = 55) underwent combined brain revascularization (79 surgeries). RESULTS Persistent postoperative complications (ischemic stroke) developed in 7 cases (5.3%). Transient neurological impairment was observed in 36 cases (27%). Statistical analysis revealed the following risk factors of perioperative complications: critical stenosis/occlusion of posterior cerebral artery (OR 9.704), severe perfusion deficit (OR 5.393) and previous TIA or ischemic stroke within 3 months prior to surgery (OR 6.433). If at least two of these signs are present, sensitivity of prognosis for postoperative complications is 80.7% and 88.6%, respectively. CONCLUSION Patients with moyamoya disease are at high risk of perioperative complications due to complex rearrangement of collateral cerebral circulation and high sensitivity of brain to local and systemic hemodynamic changes. Patients with risk factors require careful perioperative management to exclude pathogenetic factors provoking ischemia. Early surgical treatment is advisable to reduce the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic lesions following natural course of disease and severe perioperative complications.

Abstract
We report a case of an 18-year-old girl diagnosed to have Moyamoya disease (MMD), who underwent bilateral encephalo-duro-arterio-myo-synangiosis. Literature search has clearly inferred that in comparison to an adult patient, children with MMD can have a good prognosis if early diagnosis and active surgical intervention are achieved. Evidence has demonstrated that active surgical management, including indirect bypass surgery, may improve the cerebral circulation on a relatively larger scale than direct bypass surgeries, which can only improve the cerebral circulation in the area of the vascular reconstruction.

Abstract
Background This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to clarify the risk factors for postoperative stroke in adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD). Methods We comprehensively searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for eligible published literature with regard to the risk factors and postoperative complications in adult patients with MMD. Statistical analysis was conducted using Stata version 12.0. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were assessed for each risk factor. Results There were 8 studies encompassing 1649 patients who underwent surgery with MMD were selected for analysis. Preoperative ischemic event significantly increase the risk of postoperative stroke events (OR = 1.40; 95%CI = 1.02–1.92; P = 0.039). PCA involvement correlate with an increased risk of post-infarction (OR = 4.60; 95%CI = 2.61–8.11; P = 0.000). Compared to direct bypass, patients who underwent indirect bypass or combined bypass could significantly increase the risk of postoperative stroke events. (OR = 1.17; 95%CI = 1.03–1.33; p = 0.017). MMD patients with diabetes were associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke events (OR = 4.02, 95% CI = 1.59–10.16; p = 0.003). MMD patients with hypertension, age at onset and male sex were not associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke events (P > 0.05). Conclusions This systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that preoperative ischemic events, PCA involvement and diabetes were independent risk factors for postoperative stroke in MMD patients. Therefore, in order to ensure the curative effect of patients with MMD, it is very necessary to detect these risk factors and prevent postoperative complications in time.

Abstract
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic, progressive, cerebrovascular occlusive disease that causes abnormal enlargement of collateral pathways (moyamoya vessels) in the region of the basal ganglia and thalamus. Cerebral revascularization procedures remain the preferred treatment for patients with MMD, improving the compromised cerebral blood flow (CBF). However, voxel based analysis (VBA) of revascularization surgery for MMD based on data from pre- and postoperative data has not been established. The latest algorithm called as Diffeomorphic Anatomical Registration Through Exponentiated Lie Algebra (DARTEL) has been introduced for VBA as the function of statistical parametric mapping (SPM8), and improved registration has been achieved by SPM8 with DARTEL. In this study, VBA was conducted to evaluate pre- and postoperative single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images for MMD by SPM8 with DARTEL algorithm, and the results were compared with those from SPM8 without DARTEL (a conventional method). Thirty-two patients with MMD who underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery as the first surgery were included and all patients underwent pre- and postoperative 3D T1-weighted imaging and SPECT. Pre- and postoperative SPECT images were registered to 3D T1-weighted images, then VBA was conducted. Postoperative SPECT showed more statistically increased CBF areas in the bypassed side cerebral hemisphere by using SPM8 with DARTEL (58,989 voxels; P<0.001), and increased ratio of CBF after operation was less than 15%. Meanwhile, postoperative SPECT showed less CBF increased areas by SPM8 without DARTEL. In conclusion, VBA was conducted for patients with MMD, and SPM8 with DARTEL revealed that postoperative SPECT showed statistically significant CBF increases over a relatively large area and with at most 15% increase ratio.

Abstract
Quality of life is the current trend and issue for the most of human diseases. In moyamoya disease (MMD), surgical revascularization has been recognized as the possible assistance to reduce the neurological insult. However, the progressive nature of the disease has been invincible so far. To improve the quality of life of MMD patients not only the protection from the neurological insult but also the maintenance or improvement of cognitive function is inevitable. For pediatric MMD patients, younger age or longer duration of disease is the key factor among the prognostic factors for bad neurological outcomes. Hence, 'the earlier, the better' is the most precious rule for treatment. Protection from neurological insult is very critical and foremost important to improve cognitive outcome. Clinicians need to know the neuropsychological profile of MMD patients for the care of whole person and make an effort to protect the patients from neurological insults to maintain or improve it.

Abstract
Background: The short term outcome of patients undergoing surgery for Moyamoya disease can be affected by various perioperative factors. However, due to lesser prevalence of this disease in our country, data relating the effect of perioperative factors on the overall neurological outcomes of these patients is lacking. Aims: To analyze the effect of perioperative factors on the duration of postoperative hospital stay in patients undergoing surgery for Moyamoya disease. Settings and Design: It is a retrospective study analyzing various perioperative factors influencing the overall outcome of patients undergoing surgery for Moyamoya disease at a tertiary care centre in North India. Methods and Material: The medical records of all patients who underwent revascularization surgeries for Moyamoya disease from 2007 to till January 2014 were included for retrospective analysis. Various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were recorded. The data was statistically compared for short and prolonged hospital stay for various perioperative factors. The duration of post operative hospital stay was categorized as short (<5 days) and prolonged (>5 days). Statistical Analysis: Kolmogrov Smirnov test was applied to see the normality of continuous data. The association of various categorically classified data with 2 groups was found using Fisher Exact test. The trends in intraoperative hemodynamics were analysed using 2 way repeated measure Anova test. T-test was used for comparing two group means for various parameters. Results: A total of 15 patients were included in the study. One patient underwent surgery twice on two different occasions. Thirteen patients belonged to paediatric age group (<18 years). The type of anaesthetics used for induction and maintenance had no effect on patient outcome. Mean duration of anaesthesia was 2.45 (1.3-4.0) hours. The mean duration of hospital stay was 5.13 (3-10) days. Most of the parameters did not have significant effect on postoperative hospital stay. Patients with mean value of intraoperative end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) either less than 31 mmHg or more than 35 mmHg had statistically significant prolongation of hospital stay. Conclusion: Maintaining the intraoperative EtCO2 between 31-35 mmHg may be associated with short hospital stay when compared to those who have intraoperative EtCO2 either less than 31 mmHg or more than 35 mmHg.

Abstract
Background: There was few detailed demographic and clinical data about Chinese patients with moyamoya disease. Here we describe the clinical features, surgical treatment, and long-term outcome of pediatric patients with moyamoya disease at a single institution in China. Methods: Our cohort included 288 pediatric patients with moyamoya disease. The demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained by retrospective chart review and long-term outcome was evaluated using the stroke status. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the risk factors for clinical outcome. The risk of subsequent stroke was determined using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The median age for the onset of symptoms was 8.0 years. The ratio of female to male patients was 1:1. Familial occurrence of moyamoya disease was 9.4%. The incidence of postoperative complications was 4.2%. Postoperative ischemic events were identified as predictors of unfavorable clinical outcome, while older age of symptom onset was associated with a favorable clinical outcome. The Kaplan-Meier estimate stroke risk was 5% in the first 2 years, and the 5-year-Kaplan-Meier risk of stroke was 9% after surgery for all patients treated with surgical revascularization. Overall, 86% of patients had an independent life with no significant disability. Conclusion: This long-term survey demonstrated that most surgically treated pediatric patients with MMD maintain good outcomes. Our results indicate that an early diagnosis and active intervention before the establishment of irreversible hemodynamic change are essential to achieve a favorable clinical outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Direct revascularization surgery is regarded as the most effective method of treatment of adults with moyamoya disease. These patients, however, have a higher risk of perioperative ischemic complications than do patients with atherosclerotic stroke, and are at risk for ischemic complications in the hemisphere contralateral to the one operated on. We investigated the incidence and risk factors for ischemic stroke in the contralateral hemisphere after surgical treatment of adults with moyamoya disease. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and results of neuroimaging studies on 79 hemispheres of 73 consecutive patients with adult moyamoya disease (mean±SD age, 37.96±11.27 years; range, 18-62 years) who underwent direct bypass surgery over 6 years. RESULTS Ischemic complications occurred in 4 of 79 (5.1%) contralateral hemispheres, one with Suzuki stage 3 and three with Suzuki stage 4. Three patients showed posterior cerebral artery (PCA) involvement by moyamoya vessels. Advanced stage of moyamoya disease (Suzuki stages 4/5/6; p=0.001), PCA involvement (p=0.001) and postoperative hypotension (mean arterial blood pressure <80% of preoperative mean arterial blood pressure) on the first (p<0.0001) and second (p=0.003) days after surgery were significantly correlated with postoperative contralateral ischemic complications. CONCLUSION In patients with advanced moyamoya disease and involvement of the PCA, intentional hypotension can result in ischemic stroke in the hemisphere contralateral to the one operated on. Careful control of perioperative blood pressure is crucial for good surgical results.

Abstract
We report a rare case of Williams syndrome accompanying moyamoya disease in whom postoperative global cerebral infarction occurred unpredictably. Williams syndrome is an uncommon hereditary disorder associated with the connective tissue abnormalities and cardiovascular disease. To our knowledge, our case report is the second case of Williams syndrome accompanying moyamoya disease. A 9-year-old boy was presented with right hemiparesis after second operation for coarctation of aorta. He was diagnosed as having Williams syndrome at the age of 1 year. Brain MRI showed left cerebral cortical infarction, and angiography showed severe stenosis of bilateral internal carotid arteries and moyamoya vessels. To reduce the risk of furthermore cerebral infarction, we performed indirect anastomosis successfully. Postoperatively, the patient recovered well, but at postoperative third day, without any unusual predictive abnormal findings the patient's pupils were suddenly dilated. Brain CT showed the global cerebral infarction. Despite of vigorous treatment, the patient was not recovered and fell in brain death one week later. We suggest that in this kind of labile patient with Williams syndrome accompanying moyamoya disease, postoperative sedation should be done with more thorough strict patient monitoring than usual moyamoya patients. Also, we should decide the revascularization surgery more cautiously than usual moyamoya disease. The possibility of unpredictable postoperative ischemic complication should be kept in mind.

Abstract
Regional cerebral oxygenation can be monitored using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Inadequacy of collateral cerebral circulation and regional cerebral ischemia during cardiac and vascular surgery may be detected by the use of NIRS monitoring. We report a 2-year-old child who underwent surgical repair of vascular ring and subclavian reimplantation, where use of NIRS helped in early detection and timely intervention to prevent prolonged cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
We report the case of a 11-year-old girl with Moyamoya syndrome, who had undergone staged-repair of tricuspid atresia to a Fontan circulation, scheduled to undergo bilateral pial synangiosis. Surgery for the first hemisphere was complicated by intracranial hemorrhage requiring an emergency craniotomy. The case highlights the importance of understanding Fontan physiology and its interrelationship with the cerebral circulation in the setting of cerebrovascular insufficiency and raised intracranial pressure.

Abstract
Perioperative ischemic complications not directly related to surgery require special attention in patients with moyamoya disease; positron emission tomography (H(2) 15O-PET) and single-photon emission computed tomography have been considered indispensable for evaluating pre- and postsurgical cerebral hemodynamics. The clinical records of 14 patients with moyamoya disease who underwent 26 extracranial-intracranial bypass operations were reviewed with special reference to perisurgical complications. One patient developed multiple postoperative ischemic infarctions and died of ischemic brain edema. The history of this patient with prolonged acidosis is analyzed, and the role of metabolic changes induced by H(2) 15O-PET with acetazolamide challenge is reviewed. Seven (77.8%) of nine patients operated on within 48 hours after H(2) 15O-PET with acetazolamide (group 1) developed metabolic acidosis, whereas only three (17.6%) of 17 patients operated on >48 hours (group 2) after the examination had intraoperative pH of <7.35. In group 1, the mean intraoperative pH was 7.328, which was significantly lower than the mean pH of 7.393 (P <.0001) in group 2. After H(2) 15O-PET with acetazolamide challenge, patients must be carefully observed concerning acidosis and volume state. We recommend at least 48 hours between examination and surgery for patients with moyamoya disease so that their conditions can stabilize. Furthermore, special care should be taken to avoid additional perioperative risk factors such as hypotension, hypocapnia, hypercapnia, and hypovolemia.
