Revascularization is the standard treatment, yet up to 27% of patients experience ischemic events within a year due to bypass insufficiency. While digital subtraction angiography (DSA) remains the gold standard for assessing bypass function, it is invasive and time-consuming. This study evaluates ultrasonography (US) as a noninvasive, cost-effective tool to assess bypass capacity post-revascularization in MMD.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A systematic search was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for studies reporting US parameters with control imaging confirming bypass capacity. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa Scale. Mean difference (MD) values were calculated using random-effects models. High bypass capacity was defined as good patency or favorable collateral development.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Eight cohort studies comprising 264 MMD patients and 301 operated hemispheres were included, with 180 demonstrating high bypass capacity. Within two weeks post-surgery, increased superficial temporal artery (STA) peak systolic velocity (PSV, MD\u2009=\u200928.26, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), mean flow velocity (MFV, MD\u2009=\u200922.97, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.03), end-diastolic velocity (EDV, MD\u2009=\u200933.45, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001), and decreased resistance index (RI, MD\u2009=\u2009\u20130.09, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006) were predictive. External carotid artery (ECA) EDV (MD\u2009=\u200913.92, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04) was also significant. At 3\u20136\u00a0months, elevated EDV in both STA (MD\u2009=\u20098.13, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006) and ECA (MD\u2009=\u20098.71, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0002) remained predictive. In the indirect subgroup, lower anterior cerebral artery (ACA) MFV within 0\u20133\u00a0months predicted favorable outcomes (MD\u2009=\u2009\u201364.98, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Changes in STA and ECA US parameters measured following revascularization surgery predict high bypass capacity. Decreased ACA MFV suggests effective revascularization after indirect surgery.
