Abstract
The superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery bypass represents the mainstay of bypass operations for cerebral revascularization. The role of this operation in the setting of cerebrovascular occlusive disease, with compromised cerebral hemodynamic reserve, is a topic of current investigation. In this report, we describe technical nuances to avert potential pitfalls in the performance of this procedure. The use of intraoperative quantitative blood flow measurements as a reliable method of assessing the success of the bypass is also described.
