Improvement in multiple cognitive domains via combined revascularization by 6 months’ follow-up: a new potential surgical indication in moyamoya disease
Revascularization can selectively reverse cognitive dysfunction by improving cerebral blood flow perfusion in adults with MMD. Combined revascularization may allow more definite hemodynamic improvement than indirect revascularization, leading to more frequent and greater potential improvement in more cognitive domains; however, more studies are needed to confirm this. A population with lower preoperative cognition and good postoperative collateral formation may benefit more from the surgery.
