More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Microsurgical revascularization to improve intracranial circulation. It usually involves joining the extracranial circulation to the intracranial circulation but may include extracranial revascularization (e.g., subclavian-vertebral artery bypass, subclavian-external carotid artery bypass). It is performed by joining two arteries (direct anastomosis or use of graft) or by free autologous transplantation of highly vascularized tissue to the surface of the brain.  do not use /util except by MeSH definition    Other names STA-MCA Bypass; Microsurgical Revascularization, Cerebral; Extracranial-Intracranial Arterial Bypass; EC-IC Arterial Bypass; Brain Revascularization; STA-MCA Bypasses; Revascularization, Cerebral Microsurgical; Revascularization, Cerebral; Revascularization, Brain; Extracranial-Intracranial Arterial Bypasses; Extracranial Intracranial Arterial Bypass; EC-IC Arterial Bypasses; EC IC Arterial Bypass; Cerebral Microsurgical Revascularizations; Bypasses, STA-MCA; Bypasses, Extracranial-Intracranial Arterial; Bypasses, EC-IC Arterial; Bypass, STA-MCA; Bypass, Extracranial-Intracranial Arterial; Bypass, EC-IC Arterial
