Background: Multiple literatures have shown that extra-intracranial vascular direct bypass provides good outcome for patients diagnosed as moyamoya disease (MMD), but complications occurred frequently after surgeries. This study aims to discuss the postoperative complications, occurrence rate and postoperative management of MMD patients who underwent surgeries.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively collected data of consecutive patients diagnosed with MMD and then underwent combination surgery of direct bypass and EDMS in our department between Jan 2013 to Dec 2015. Postoperative complications include acute brain infarction, intracranial bleeding and CHS. All patients were strictly monitored to avoid hypovolemia, low blood pressure and anemia after surgeries. Edaravone was the main medicine used for postoperative treatment.
