Interrupted Versus Running Sutures for Superficial Temporal Artery to Middle Cerebral Artery Cranial Bypass
No significant differences in patency or STA caliber on follow-up imaging were observed between STA-MCA anastomoses performed with interrupted vs running sutures although a difference in anastomotic maturity was observed, with the running suture cohort having a higher proportion of enlarged or stable anastomoses. Further studies are needed for validation.
