Characteristic Pattern of the Cerebral Hemodynamic Changes in the Acute Stage After Combined Revascularization Surgery for Adult Moyamoya Disease: N-isopropyl-p-[ 123 I] iodoamphetamine Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography Study.

Objective: Surgical revascularization for moyamoya disease (MMD) prevents cerebral ischemic attack by improving cerebral blood flow (CBF) and could also reduce the risk of re-bleeding in hemorrhagic-onset patients. We sought to clarify the cerebral hemodynamic changes in the acute stage after revascularization surgery for adult MMD.
