In cases with poor development of the parietal branch of the STA, the posterior auricular artery (PAA) is often developed and can be used as the bypass donor artery. In this report, the authors describe double direct bypass performed using only the PAA as the donor in the initial surgery for MMD.<\/jats:p><jats:p>In the authors\u2019 institution, MMD is routinely treated with an STA-MCA double bypass. Some patients, however, have poor STA development, and in these cases the PAA is used as the donor artery. The authors report the use of the PAA in the treatment of 4 MMD patients at their institution from 2013 to 2016. In all 4 cases, a double direct bypass was performed, with transposition of the PAA as the donor artery. Good patency was confirmed in all cases via intraoperative indocyanine green angiography and postoperative MRA or cerebral angiography. The mean blood flow measurement during surgery was 58 ml\/min. No patients suffered a stroke after revascularization surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2019.5.jns19173","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,24]],"date-time":"2019-08-24T00:09:00Z","timestamp":1566605340000},"page":"1168-1171","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Direct double bypass using the posterior auricular artery as initial surgery for moyamoya disease: technical note"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"133","author":[{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Kurihara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Yamaguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tatsuya","family":"Ishikawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takayuki","family":"Funatsu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Go","family":"Matsuoka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshihiro","family":"Omura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoshikazu","family":"Okada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takakazu","family":"Kawamata","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Tokyo Women\u2019s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"1453","article-title":"Intrinsic development of choroidal and thalamic collaterals in hemorrhagic-onset moyamoya disease: case-control study of the Japan Adult Moyamoya Trial","volume":"130","author":"Fujimura M","year":"2019","unstructured":"Fujimura M, Funaki T, Houkin K, Takahashi JC, Kuroda S, Tomata Y, : Intrinsic development of choroidal and thalamic collaterals in hemorrhagic-onset moyamoya disease: case-control study of the Japan Adult Moyamoya Trial.
