Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the use of a radial artery graft for bypass of the maxillary artery (MA) to the proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) as an alternative to superficial temporal artery-to-MCA anastomosis or extracranial carotid-to-MCA bypass using long grafts.
