Flow capacity of a superficial temporal artery as a donor in a consecutive series of 100 patients with superficial temporal artery–middle cerebral artery bypass
Using intraoperative and postoperative quantitative flow measurements of the STA, the data confirm that the flow in the flow augmentation STA-MCA bypass is influenced by the flow demand of the revascularized territory and can reach high values if needed. Moreover, the significant flow increase in the postoperative flow measurement using qMRA-NOVA demonstrates that the bypass can increase its flow over time.
