  • Superficial Temporal Artery to middle cerebral Artery bypass past present and future
    Neurosurgical Focus, 2008
    Co-Authors: Marcelo D Vilela, David W Newell
    Abstract:

    Object The aim of this study was to review the historical developments and current status of Superficial Temporal Artery (STA) to middle cerebral Artery (MCA) bypass. Method A literature review was performed to review the origins and current uses of the STA bypass procedure in neurosurgery. Results The idea of providing additional blood supply to the brain to prevent stroke and maintain neurological function has been present in the mind of neurosurgeons for many decades. In 1967 the first STA–MCA bypass was done by M. G. Yasargil, and an enormous step was made into the field of microneurosurgery and cerebral revascularization. During the decades that followed, this technique was used as an adjuvant or a definitive surgical treatment for occlusive disease of the extracranial and intracranial cerebral vessels, skull base tumors, aneurysms, carotid–cavernous fistulas, cerebral vasospasm, acute cerebral ischemia, and moyamoya disease. With the results of the first randomized extracranial–intracranial (EC–IC) ...

  • Superficial Temporal Artery to middle cerebral Artery bypass
    Skull Base Surgery, 2005
    Co-Authors: David W Newell
    Abstract:

    The Superficial Temporal Artery to middle Artery bypass is a technique that allows the blood supply from the extracranial carotid circulation to be routed to the distal middle cerebral Artery branches. The procedure allows blood flow to bypass proximal lesions of the intracranial vasculature. The performance of this bypass requires specialized microvascular training and the use of microvascular techniques. The techniques involved in performing these procedures include microdissection of the Superficial Temporal Artery in the scalp, microdissection of the recipient middle cerebral Artery branches near the sylvian fissure, and anastomosis techniques using either microvascular sutures or a microanastomotic device. The successful completion of the bypass and subsequent patency requires meticulous attention to technical details.

  • Superficial Temporal Artery to middle cerebral Artery bypass
    Neurosurgery, 2004
    Co-Authors: David W Newell, Marcelo D Vilela
    Abstract:

    The Superficial Temporal Artery to middle cerebral Artery bypass is an elegant procedure that was developed and first performed by M. Gazi Yasargil. It has been used by neurosurgeons for more than 30 years in the management of neurovascular disorders such as cerebrovascular ischemic disease, moyamoya disease, and complex intracranial aneurysms. Mastering the technique requires not only precise and fine skills but also devoted training in the microsurgery laboratory. The technique presented in this article evolved from the long and vast experience of the senior author (DWN) in performing Superficial Temporal Artery to middle cerebral Artery bypasses for a variety of cerebrovascular conditions.

  • facial nerve injury a complication of Superficial Temporal Artery biopsy
    American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Michael K Yoon, Jonathan C Horton, Timothy J Mcculley
    Abstract:

    ● PURPOSE: To describe 4 patients who sustained facial nerve injury during Temporal Artery biopsy. ● DESIGN: Retrospective, observational case series. ● METHODS: The medical records were reviewed of 4 patients (2 men, 2 women; mean age 72.8 years, range 60 to 87), referred for evaluation of palsy of the frontal branch of the facial nerve following Temporal Artery biopsy. Main outcomes measured were site of incision, length of follow-up, and degree of recovery. ● RESULTS: In all cases, incisions were made in the preauricular region or on the pretrichial temple within 3 cm of the lateral canthal angle. Follow-up ranged from 1 month to over 5 years. No patient recovered completely; 2 had partial return of function, and 2 reported no improvement. ● CONCLUSIONS: Branch facial nerve palsy can occur with Temporal Artery biopsy and is likely to result in permanent disability. In all cases the incision was placed within the known course of the frontal branch of the facial nerve. To prevent this rare complication, we advocate biopsy of the parietal, rather than the frontal, branch of the Superficial Temporal Artery. (Am J Ophthalmol 2011;152:251‐255. © 2011 by Elsevier Inc.
