Abstract
STA-MCA anastomosis has been used as a potential treatment option for the occlusive cerebrovascular disease. On postoperative CTA, MRA and DSA can show the patency of donor artery. However, these study were more expensive and invasive than ultrasound study. After the STA-MCA anastomosis, the flow rate of donor artery would be increased and this is the indirect evidence of patency of donor artery. We analyze the bilateral STA flow change at the pre and post-operative periods for the evaluation of relationship between donor artery patency and flow change.
