Clinical features, angiographic findings, and long-term outcomes (&gt; 5-year follow-up) were analyzed. Cox regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors for postoperative stroke events. Long-term stroke events were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The mean age at symptom onset was 62.9 \u00b1 3.0 years among 111 elderly patients with MMD. Vascular comorbidities were present in 80 (72.1%) patients. The ratio of female to male patients was 1:1.2. Familial MMD was found in 7 (6.3%) patients. Cerebral ischemia was the most common clinical manifestation observed in 82 (73.9%) patients. Most patients (59.5%) presented with Suzuki stages 5 and 6 MMD, and 29 (26.1%) patients presented with stenosis or occlusion of the posterior circulation. Unilateral MMD was present in 17 (15.3%) patients. Among the 58 (52.3%) patients who underwent EDAS, 28 (48.3%) and 30 (51.7%) underwent bilateral and unilateral surgeries, respectively. Overall, 53 (47.7%) patients were treated conservatively using internal medicine. After a median follow-up duration of 8.2 years, stroke incidence in the EDAS and conservative treatment groups was respectively 17.2% (7 and 3 cases of cerebral infarction and hemorrhage, respectively) and 49.1% (22 and 4 cases of cerebral infarction and hemorrhage, respectively). The stroke incidence rate was higher in the conservative group than in the EDAS group, with a statistically significant difference (p = 0.001) according to results of the Kaplan-Meier analysis. The identified predictor of postoperative stroke events was initial hemorrhage in the EDAS group and advanced age, aneurysm, and initial ischemia in the conservative treatment group.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The postoperative long-term stroke rate among elderly patients with MMD was lower in the EDAS group than in the conservative treatment group.
