RESUMO
Decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) leads to impaired cerebral hemodynamics, which causes an increased risk of stroke. Revascularization has been shown to improve CBF in patients with moyamoya disease. The study is devoted to the retrospective study of clinical features and cerebral hemodynamic characteristics of 17 patients with moyamoya disease before, during and after surgical treatment using extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass by STA-MCA type. Patients underwent superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass surgeries. All patients were carried out by DSA, MSCT-angiography, and MSCT-perfusion imagine (MSCTPI) before and 6 months after surgery. The hemodynamic parameters during MSCTPI, changes in cerebral vascular pattern, and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Cerebral blood flow and mean transit time (MTT) were measured using MSCT-perfusion imaging to identify areas of hypoperfusion. Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) analysis was performed to assess local cerebral hemodynamics before and after the creation of the STA-MCA bypass. Results showed that hemodynamics improved significantly on the surgery side after revascularization. After STA-MCA bypass CBF increased and MTT reduced by almost 2 times compared to the level before the bypass. The modified Rankin Scale scores demonstrated an improvement in the neurological status of patients following surgical revascularization. Thus, STA-MCA-type surgical revascularization significantly improved cerebral perfusion parameters and reduced the risk of stroke in patients with moyamoya disease. MSCTPI can serve as an effective and noninvasive method for monitoring cerebral hemodynamics in these patients. Intraoperative ICG angiography is a safe method that can display hemodynamic characteristics in the surgical area.

BACKGROUND: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by an abundance of moyamoya vessels; however, the precise mechanism driving the spontaneous angiogenesis of these compensatory vessels remains unclear. Previous research has established a link between the stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/ CXC receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis and angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions. Nevertheless, the alterations in this axis within the cerebrospinal fluid, arachnoid membranes and vascular tissue of MMD patients have not been fully investigated. METHODS: Our study enrolled 66 adult MMD patients and 61 patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease (ACVD). We investigated the SDF-1 concentration in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and CXCR4 expression level on the arachnoid membranes and vascular tissue. We utilized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemistr. Additionally, we cultured and stimulated human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) under oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) conditions followed by reoxygenation, to examine any changes in the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis. RESULTS: The results demonstrated an elevation in the level of SDF-1 in CSF among MMD patients compared to those with ACVD. Moreover, the expression of CXCR4 in arachnoid membranes and vascular tissue showed a similar trend. Furthermore, the content of CXCR4 in HBMECs and SMCs increased with the duration of ischemia and hypoxia. However, it was observed that the expression of CXCR4 decreased at OGD/R 24h compared to OGD 24h. The temporal pattern of SDF-1 expression in HBMECs and SMCs mirrored that of CXCR4 expression. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate a critical role for the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in the angiogenesis of moyamoya disease.

BACKGROUND: Paired cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurement is usually acquired before and after vasoactive stimulus to estimate cerebrovascular reserve (CVR). However, CVR may be confounded because of variations in time-to-maximum CBF response (tmax) following acetazolamide injection. With a mathematical model, CVR can be calculated insensitive to variations in tmax, and a model offers the possibility to calculate additional model-derived parameters. A model that describes the temporal CBF response following a vasodilating acetazolamide injection is proposed and evaluated. METHODS: A bi-exponential model was adopted and fitted to four CBF measurements acquired using arterial spin labelling before and initialised at 5, 15 and 25 min after acetazolamide injection in a total of fifteen patients with Moyamoya disease. Curve fitting was performed using a non-linear least squares method with a priori constraints based on simulations. RESULTS: Goodness of fit (mean absolute error) varied between 0.30 and 0.62 ml·100 g-1·min-1. Model-derived CVR was significantly higher compared to static CVR measures. Maximum CBF increase occurred earlier in healthy- compared to diseased vascular regions. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed mathematical model offers the possibility to calculate CVR insensitive to variations in time to maximum CBF response which gives a more detailed characterisation of CVR compared to static CVR measures. Although the mathematical model adapts generally well to this dataset of patients with MMD it should be considered as experimental; hence, further studies in healthy populations and other patient cohorts are warranted.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic steno-occlusive disease of the intracranial circulation that depends on neoangiogenesis of collateral vessels to maintain cerebral perfusion and is primarily managed with cerebral revascularization surgery. A quantitative assessment of preoperative and postoperative collateral flow using quantitative magnetic resonance angiography with noninvasive optimal vessel analysis (NOVA) was used to illustrate the impact of revascularization on cerebral flow distribution. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients with unilateral MMD who underwent direct, indirect, or combined direct/indirect cerebral revascularization surgery was conducted between 2011 and 2020. Using NOVA, flow was measured at the anterior cerebral artery (ACA), ACA distal to the anterior communicating artery (A2), middle cerebral artery (MCA), posterior cerebral artery (PCA), and PCA distal to the posterior communicating artery (P2). Pial flow (A2 + P2) and collateral flow (ipsilateral [A2 + P2])-(contralateral [A2 + P2]) were measured and compared before and after revascularization surgery. Total hemispheric flow (MCA + A2 + P2) with the addition of the bypass graft flow postoperatively was likewise measured. RESULTS: Thirty-four patients with unilateral MMD underwent cerebral revascularization. Median collateral flow significantly decreased from 68 to 39.5 mL/min ( P = .007) after bypass. Hemispheres with maintained measurable bypass signal on postoperative NOVA demonstrated significant reduction in median collateral flow after bypass ( P = .002). Median total hemispheric flow significantly increased from 227 mL/min to 247 mL/min ( P = .007) after bypass. Only one patient suffered an ipsilateral ischemic stroke, and no patients suffered a hemorrhage during follow-up. CONCLUSION: NOVA measurements demonstrate a reduction in pial collateral flow and an increase in total hemispheric flow after bypass for MMD, likely representing a decrease in leptomeningeal collateral stress on the distal ACA and PCA territories. Further studies with these measures in larger cohorts may elucidate a role for NOVA in predicting the risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic events in MMD.

BACKGROUND: Superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass surgery has been widely adopted in treating moyamoya disease (MMD). Geometric variations including high tortuosity and stenosis exist in many cases, but the hemodynamic effects have not been comprehensively evaluated. We aim to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of bypass geometry variations based on patient-specific data. METHODS: In total, 17 patients with MMD who underwent STA-MCA bypass surgery with highly tortuous bypass geometry were included. For each patient, the original 3-dimensional structure of STA-MCA bypass was reconstructed from clinical imaging data. The bypass structure was virtually improved by removing the tortuosity and stenosis. Computational fluid dynamics simulation was performed on both bypass structures under identical patient-specific condition. The simulated hemodynamic parameters of the bypass and its distal branches were compared between the original and virtually improved bypass geometries in all cases using paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The changes of hemodynamic parameters were compared between the cases with and without mild-to-moderate stenosis (44.0-70.3% in diameter) in the bypass using t-test or Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: The virtual improvement of bypass geometry significantly increased the flow rate of the bypass and its distal branches (P < 0.05) and decreased the transcranial flow resistance (P < 0.05). The hemodynamic changes in cases with stenosis removal were significantly greater than those without stenosis (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: High tortuosity and stenosis can significantly change the hemodynamics of STA-MCA bypass, and the optimization of bypass geometry deserves further consideration.

BACKGROUND: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a chronic ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Collateral circulation in MMD has emerged as a research focus. Our aims were to assess the impact of anastomoses between the anterior and posterior circulations on the prognosis of MMD patients. METHODS: We reviewed the preoperative digital subtraction angiography images of patients with MMD who underwent revascularization surgery at our hospital between March 2014 and May 2020 and divided the patients into two groups: those with anastomoses (PtoA group) and those without anastomoses (non-PtoA group). The differences in follow-up (more than 6 months) collateral vessel establishment (Matsushima grade) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) were compared between the two groups as well as between the patients with different degrees of anastomoses. The early complications following revascularization were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS: This study included 104 patients with MMD, of which 38 were non-PtoA and 66 were PtoA. There were no significant differences in Matsushima score (P = 0.252) and mRS score (P = 0.066) between the two groups. In addition, Matsushima score (P = 0.243) and mRS score (P = 0.360) did not differ significantly between patients with different degrees of anastomoses. However, the non-PtoA group had a significantly higher rate of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) than the PtoA group (34.2% vs 16.7%, P = 0.041). CONCLUSION: MMD patients without anastomoses between anterior and posterior circulations preoperatively should be vigilant of the occurrence of CHS in the early stages after revascularization.

Cerebral hyperperfusion (CHP) occurred frequently after direct superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass surgery for moyamoya disease (MMD). We analyzed cortical microvascular density (CMD) and the change of cerebral blood flow (LΔCBF) using intraoperative laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) on 130 hemispheres of 95 consecutive adult patients with MMD. The demographic characteristics, cortical hemodynamic sources, bypass methods, intraoperative blood flow data, and relative CBF changes on single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) examination (SΔrCBF) were compared between the groups with and without CHP. The median values for CMD, LΔCBF, and SΔrCBF were significantly higher in the CHP group than in the non-CHP group (CMD 0.240 vs 0.206, P = 0.004; LΔCBF 2.285 vs 1.870, P < 0.001; SΔCBF 1.535 vs 1.260, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that hemodynamic sources of recipient parasylvian cortical arteries from MCA (M-PSCAs), end-to-side (E-S) bypass method, CMD ≥ 0.217, and LΔCBF ≥ 1.985 were the risk factors for CHP. Intraoperative LSCI was useful for evaluating hemodynamics and predicting CHP in patients with MMD.

OBJECTIVES: Adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) occasionally develop cognitive decline due to cerebral hyperperfusion following direct revascularization surgery. However, how the hyperperfusion phenomenon contributes to declines in cognitive function remains unclear. The present supplementary analysis of a prospective study aimed to determine whether cerebral hyperperfusion following direct revascularization surgery for adult MMD with ischemic presentation and misery perfusion leads to development of de novo cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) and whether postoperative cognitive decline is related to these CMBs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In total, 32 patients who underwent direct revascularization surgery also underwent T2*-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T2*WI) and neuropsychological testing before and 2 months after surgery. Development of cerebral hyperperfusion and hyperperfusion syndrome following surgery was defined based on brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) findings and clinical symptoms. RESULTS: Cerebral hyperperfusion on brain perfusion SPECT (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-10.8; p = 0.0175) or cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (95%CI, 1.3-15.3; p = 0.0029) was significantly associated with postoperatively increased CMBs on T2*WI. Postoperatively increased CMBs were significantly associated with postoperative cognitive decline (95%CI, 1.8-20.4, p = 0.0041). For patients with cerebral hyperperfusion on brain perfusion SPECT, the incidence of postoperative cognitive decline was significantly greater in patients with than in those without postoperatively increased CMBs (p = 0.0294). CONCLUSIONS: Cerebral hyperperfusion following direct revascularization surgery for adult MMD with ischemic presentation and misery perfusion contributes to the development of de novo CMBs and postoperative cognitive decline is related to these CMBs.

In specific cases of moyamoya disease (MMD), posterior cerebral artery (PCA) stenosis can develop after treatment of the anterior circulation and require additional revascularization. Here, we report two cases that underwent additional posterior indirect revascularization with multiple burr holes for PCA involvement after bilateral revascularization treatment of the anterior circulation. They presented with transient ischemic attack even after bilateral superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery bypass, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) showed that PCA stenosis had worsened. Indirect revascularization with multiple burr holes using Benz-marked skin incisions was performed. After surgery, the symptoms improved without perioperative complications, and cerebral angiography showed collateral circulation via the burr hole. Indirect revascularization for MMD is often combined with direct revascularization, and there are only a few reports on the use of multiple burr hole surgery alone. In addition, there are few reports of posterior circulation, despite the emphasis on the importance of PCA involvement in MMD. Indirect revascularization with multiple burr holes alone can be performed in multiple areas and applied to patients who cannot undergo direct revascularization using the occipital artery. The procedure is simple and less invasive than traditional direct revascularization procedures. Therefore, it can be effective, especially in pediatric cases of MMD with PCA involvement.

BACKGROUND: Given the expanding evidence of clinico-radiological differences between moyamoya disease (MMD) and moyamoya syndrome (MMS), we compared the clinical and radiographic features of childhood MMD and MMS to identify predictors of ischemic event recurrence. METHODS: We reviewed a pediatric moyamoya cohort followed between 2003 and 2019. Clinical and radiographic characteristics at diagnosis and follow-up were abstracted. Comparisons between MMD and MMS as well as between MMD and two MMS subgroups (neurofibromatosis [MMS-NF1] and sickle cell disease [MMS-SCD]) were performed. RESULTS: A total of 111 patients were identified. Patients with MMD presented commonly with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) (35 % MMD versus 13% MMS-NF1 versus 9.5% MMS-SCD; P = 0.047). Symptomatic stroke presentation (MMD 37% versus MMS-NF1 4% versus 33%; P = 0.0147) and bilateral disease at diagnosis (MMD 73% versus MMS-NF1 22 % versus MMS-SCD 67%; P = 0.0002) were uncommon in MMS-NF1. TIA recurrence was common in MMD (hazard ratio 2.86; P = 0.001). The ivy sign was absent on neuroimaging in a majority of patients with MMS-SCD (MMD 67% versus MMS-NF1 52% versus MMS-SCD 9.5%; P = 0.0002). Predictors of poor motor outcome included early age at diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] 8.45; P = 0.0014), symptomatic stroke presentation (OR 6.6; P = 0.019), and advanced Suzuki stage (OR 3.59; P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: Moyamoya exhibits different phenotypes based on underlying etiologies. Frequent TIAs is a common phenotype of MMD and symptomatic stroke presentation a common feature of MMD and MMS-SCD, whereas unilateral disease and low infarct burden are common in MMS-NF1. In addition, absence of ivy sign is a common phenotype in MMS-SCD.

BACKGROUND: Moyamoya disease refers to a progressive vasostenotic or vaso-occlusive disease that puts patients at risk for ischemic and/or hemorrhagic events. Surgical revascularization procedures aim to restore cerebral blood flow to mitigate stroke risk and functional decline. Direct and indirect bypass procedures have been proposed. Encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) with dural inversion is a well-accepted indirect procedure. METHODS: Patients with moyamoya disease undergoing EDAS with dural inversion between 2000 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical data including short-term and long-term outcome were measured using the modified Rankin Scale. Patient satisfaction was assessed in patients with a minimum of 3 years of clinical follow-up. RESULTS: Over a 20-year period, 54 patients underwent 88 EDAS with dural inversion procedures. Most patients underwent bilateral surgery (34/54 patients, 63.0%). Median age at surgery was 19 years (range, 1-63 years) with a median follow-up of 6 years (range, 1-20 years). Periprocedural complications occurred in 4 of 54 patients (7.4%). Periprocedural infarction occurred in 3 of 88 operations (3.4%). Functional outcome at 90 days was favorable (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2) in 92.6% of cases. On long-term follow-up, 3 patients experienced ischemic infarction (5.6%), and 1 patient (1.9%) experienced hemorrhagic infarction. Patients' overall satisfaction with the surgical procedure at last follow-up was determined in 36 of 45 patients with at least 3 years of follow-up (response rate 80.0%). Median satisfaction was very good (score 5; range, 3-5). CONCLUSIONS: EDAS with dural inversion is a safe and effective indirect revascularization procedure for pediatric and adult moyamoya disease that is associated with favorable long-term outcomes and high patient satisfaction.

OBJECTIVE: The relationship between carotid ultrasonographic parameters and postoperative collateral development in adult ischemic moyamoya disease (MMD) patients who received combined direct and indirect revascularization surgery remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the postoperative changes in carotid ultrasonographic parameters in patients with adult ischemic MMD. METHODS: We studied 28 adult ischemic MMD patients (31 hemispheres) who underwent combined revascularization surgery. Patients underwent preoperative and postoperative (within 14 days and 3, 12, and 24 months after surgery) magnetic resonance imaging and carotid ultrasonography. We defined the hemisphere in which all signal intensities of the superficial temporal, middle meningeal, and deep temporal arteries were increased compared with that before surgery on magnetic resonance angiography as well-developed collateral establishment. RESULTS: Patients with good collateral establishment on MRA at 2-year after surgery had a lower external carotid artery (ECA) pulsatility index (PI) (P = 0.0413) and ECA/internal carotid artery (ICA) pulsatility index (PI) ratio (P = 0.0427) at 3-month post-operation. At 3-month post-operation, a cut-off ECA PI of 1.416 (sensitivity 40.0 %, specificity 92.3 %, area under the curve 0.7282, likelihood ratio 5.20, P = 0.0404) and ECA/ICA PI ratio of 0.8768 (sensitivity 50.0 %, specificity 92.31 %, area under the curve 0.7308, likelihood ratio 6.50, P = 0.0415) provided reliable values for good prediction of collateral development at 2 years after revascularization. CONCLUSION: ECA/ICA PI ratio and ECA PI at 3-month after surgery can be one of the indicators for predicting future well-developed neovascularization on MRA and better outcome in patients with adult ischemic MMD who received combined direct and indirect revascularization surgery.

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that de novo genetic variants are responsible for moyamoya disease (MMD) in children with unaffected relatives, we performed exome sequencing of 28 affected children and their unaffected parents. METHODS: Exome sequencing was performed on 28 trios of affected patients with MMD and unaffected parents. RESULTS: We identified 3 novel rare de novo RNF213 variants, 1 in the RING domain and 2 in a highly conserved region distal to the RING domain (4,114-4,120). These de novo cases of MMD present at a young age with aggressive MMD and uniquely have additional occlusive vascular lesions, including renal artery stenosis. Two previously reported cases had de novo variants in the same limited region and presented young with aggressive MMD, and 1 case had narrowing of the inferior abdominal aorta. CONCLUSIONS: These results indicate a novel syndrome associated with RNF213 rare variants defined by de novo mutations disrupting highly conserved amino acids in the RING domain and a discrete region distal to the RING domain delimited by amino acids 4,114 to 4,120 leading to onset of severe MMD before 3 years of age and occlusion of other arteries, including the abdominal aorta, renal, iliac, and femoral arteries.

BACKGROUND: Postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) may occur after superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass for moyamoya disease (MMD). Predicting postoperative CHS is challenging; however, we previously reported the feasibility of using a hyperspectral camera (HSC) for monitoring intraoperative changes in brain surface hemodynamics during STA-MCA bypass. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the utility of HSC to predict postoperative CHS during STA-MCA bypass for patients with MMD. METHODS: Hyperspectral images of the cerebral cortex of 29 patients with MMD who underwent STA-MCA bypass were acquired by using an HSC before and after anastomosis. We then analyzed the changes in oxygen saturation after anastomosis and assessed its correlation with CHS. RESULTS: Five patients experienced transient neurological deterioration several days after surgery. 123I-N-Isopropyl-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission computed tomography scan results revealed an intense, focal increase in cerebral blood flow at the site of anastomosis without any cerebral infarction. Patients with CHS showed significantly increased oxygen saturation (SO2) in the cerebral cortex after anastomosis relative to those without CHS (33 ± 28 vs. 8 ± 14%, p < 0.0001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis results show that postoperative CHS likely occurs when the increase rate of cortical SO2 value is >15% (sensitivity, 85.0%; specificity, 81.3%; area under curve, 0.871). CONCLUSIONS: This study indicates that hyperspectral imaging of the cerebral cortex may be used to predict postoperative CHS in patients with MMD undergoing STA-MCA bypass.

BACKGROUND: Moyamoya disease (MMD) and moyamoya syndrome (MMS) are a rare cause of stroke commonly managed surgically. We conducted a scoping review to identify the current scope of the literature regarding factors associated with failure of revascularization surgery for MMD and MMS in pediatric patients and to catalyze future research. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted to explore failures of revascularization surgery for MMD and MMS in pediatric patients using the PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases. Titles and abstracts returned from searches were screened for full-text review. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were reviewed in full, and relevant data were extracted. RESULTS: Of 2450 resultant articles, 15 were included. Angiographic outcomes were reported for 900 hemispheres, of which 442 (49.1%) were denoted as Matsushima grade A, 299 (33.2%) as Matsushima grade B, and 159 (17.7%) as Matsushima grade C. Patients with MMS had poorer angiographic outcomes than did patients with MMD. Patients with poor neovascularization had a greater degree of moyamoya vessels on follow-up angiogram. Suzuki stage was not associated with angiographic outcome in individual patients. Angiographic outcomes differed by surgical approach and were not associated with clinical outcomes. Literature identifying factors was sparse. CONCLUSIONS: The existing literature indicates that factors such as cause, degree of moyamoya vessels, and surgical approach may affect the likelihood of Matsushima grade C revascularization in pediatric patients with MMD and MMS. Future studies are necessary to definitively elucidate factors associated with failure of revascularization surgery for pediatric MMD.

OBJECT: Abnormal collateral channels, so-called moyamoya vessels, play a critical role to compensate cerebral ischemia, but carry the risk for hemorrhagic stroke in moyamoya disease (MMD). The present study was aimed to clarify if superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) anastomosis and encephalo-myo-duro-arterio-pericranial synangiosis (EDMAPS) can efficiently regress the abnormal collateral channels in MMD patients. METHODS: This study included 92 hemispheres of 61 MMD patients who underwent STA-MCA anastomosis combined with EDMAPS between 2013 and 2019. There were 17 children and 44 adults. We retrospectively analyzed the findings on cerebral angiography before and 3 to 6 months after surgery, including Suzuki's angiographical stage, the development of surgical collaterals, and the extent of abnormal collateral channels such as lenticulostriate, thalamic, and choroidal channels. RESULTS: Following surgery, no pediatric and adult patients experienced any stroke during follow-up periods (40.2±25.5 and 54.9±19.7 months, respectively). Suzuki's stage significantly advanced in both adult and pediatric patients after surgery (P=0.042 and P<0.001). In adult patients, all of the lenticulostriate, thalamic, and choroidal channels significantly regressed after surgery (P<0.001, P=0.012, and P=0.004, respectively). In pediatric patients, however, lenticulostriate and choroidal channels significantly regressed (P=0.005 and P=0.034, respectively). Correlation analysis revealed that the development of surgical collaterals determined the postoperative regression of choroidal channels (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: STA-MCA anastomosis and EDMAPS may be one of the most effective procedures to widely provide surgical collaterals to the operated hemispheres and prevent not only ischemic but also hemorrhagic stroke by regressing the hemorrhage-prone abnormal collateral channels in MMD.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is characterized by progressive bilateral stenotic changes in the terminal portion of the internal carotid arteries. Although RNF213 was identified as a susceptibility gene for MMD, the exact pathogenesis remains unknown. Immunohistochemical analysis of autopsy specimens from a patient with MMD revealed marked accumulation of hyaluronan and chondroitin sulfate (CS) in the thickened intima of occlusive lesions of MMD. Hyaluronan synthase 2 was strongly expressed in endothelial progenitor cells in the thickened intima. Furthermore, MMD lesions showed minimal staining for CS and hyaluronan in the endothelium, in contrast to control endothelium showing positive staining for both. Glycosaminoglycans of endothelial cells derived from MMD and control induced pluripotent stem cells demonstrated a decreased amount of CS, especially sulfated CS, in MMD. A computational fluid dynamics model showed highest wall shear stress values in the terminal portion of the internal carotid artery, which is the predisposing region in MMD. Because the peri-endothelial extracellular matrix plays an important role in protection, cell adhesion and migration, an altered peri-endothelial matrix in MMD may contribute to endothelial vulnerability to wall shear stress. Invading endothelial progenitor cells repairing endothelial injury would produce excessive hyaluronan and CS in the intima, and cause vascular stenosis.

Cerebral hyperperfusion (HP) complicates the postoperative course of patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) after direct revascularization surgery. Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) has been considered to be rarely associated with HP after revascularization surgery. This study aimed to describe the clinical features and factors associated with CCD secondary to cerebral HP after revascularization surgery for MMD. We analyzed 150 consecutive hemispheres including 101 in adults and 49 in pediatric patients who underwent combined direct and indirect bypass for MMD. Using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), serial cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured immediately after the surgery and on postoperative days 2 and 7. Pre- and postoperative voxel-based analysis of SPECT findings was performed to compare the changes in regional CBF. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to test the effect of multiple variables on CCD. Asymptomatic and symptomatic HP was observed in 41.3% (62/150) and 16.7% (25/150) of the operated hemispheres, respectively. CCD was observed in 18.4% (16/87) of these hemispheres with radiological HP. Multivariate analysis revealed that the occurrence of CCD was significantly associated with symptomatic HP (p = 0.0015). Voxel-based analysis showed that the CBF increase in the operated frontal cortex, and the CBF reduction in the contralateral cerebellar hemisphere on day 7 were significantly larger in symptomatic HP than in asymptomatic HP (median 11.3% vs 7.5%; - 6.0% vs - 1.7%, respectively). CCD secondary to postoperative HP is more common than anticipated in MMD. CCD could potentially be used as an indicator of severe postoperative HP in patients with MMD.

BACKGROUND: Moyamoya disease is a condition with potentially devastating and permanent neurological sequelae. Adequate volume status and blood pressure, tight control of carbon dioxide to achieve normocarbia, and providing postoperative analgesia to prevent hyperventilation are typical goals that are used during anesthetic care in these patients. The purpose of this study was to assess postanesthesia neurological complications in moyamoya patients undergoing general anesthesia for imaging studies and surgical procedures excluding neurosurgical revascularization. METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study examining moyamoya patients who received general anesthesia for imaging studies and nonneurosurgical-revascularization procedures between January 1, 2001 and December 1, 2016 at our quaternary care pediatric hospital. A general anesthetic encounter was excluded if it occurred within 30 days after a revascularization surgery. The electronic medical records of study patients were analyzed for perioperative management, and neurological outcomes within 30 days of an anesthetic were assessed. RESULTS: A total of 58 patients undergoing 351 anesthesia exposures were included in the study. Three patients experienced neurological complications, which included focal neurological weakness, seizure, and altered mental status. The incidence of complications during anesthesia encounters was 0.85% (3/351) with a 95% confidence interval of 0.28-2.62. CONCLUSIONS: Over a 16-year period at our hospital, 3 children with moyamoya disease who underwent anesthesia for nonneurosurgical-revascularization purposes demonstrated postanesthesia neurological symptoms. The symptoms were consistent with transient ischemic attacks and all resolved without long-term sequelae.

BACKGROUND: In adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) underwent combined revascularization, cerebral infarction during the acute postoperative phase is common and can lead to neurological dysfunction after revascularization in MMD patients. The aim of this study was to share the experience of individualized perioperative blood pressure (BP) management for adult MMD patients in one single center. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 144 adult patients with MMD who underwent 186 procedures of combined revascularization at our institution from March 2013 to July 2019. Clinical features and outcomes were analyzed, in particular regarding cerebral infarction and hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS). All of the patients received individualized management perioperatively, especially about the blood pressure management according to the characteristics of moyamoya disease. RESULTS: Postoperative cerebral infarction and HPS within 14 days after revascularization were recorded. Cerebral infarction occurred in four (2.1%) procedures among four patients. No patients suffered from a malignant cerebral infarction and only one patient had permanent neurological deficits. The incidence of HPS was 10.8% and no one presented with intracranial hemorrhage. All of the symptoms were reversible without any brain parenchymal injury. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that we can decrease the incidence and extent of cerebral infarction in adult MMD patients following combined revascularization by individualized perioperative BP management.
