title: [Cerebral revascularization (modified extra-intracranial anastomosis)].
abstract: Cerebrovascular diseases show a worldwide increase (in the U.S.A. alone about 400,000 new diseases every year) and the average age of the affected patients decreases significantly. The extra-intracranial anastomoses has proved to be a prophylactic measure for preventing a cerebral infarction after TIA and an efficient therapy for the improvement of the situation of the apoplectic patients. Since, however, in cerebrovascular diseases the donor artery is usually also affected, a modification of the method and a simplification of the surgical technique have been developed. In this modification, an interponate for bridging the cerebral vessels and the main stem of the donor artery is used and because of its optional length the region affected by the insufficient blood circulation can be directly supplied. A report is given on the technique this of method, the reduction of the duration of the operation and the effectiveness of the intervention.
