title: Visualization of the ostium of an arteriotomy in bypass surgery.
abstract: Visualization of the ostium of an arteriotomy by staining it blue with methylrosaniline chloride (pyoctaninum blue) in anastomotic bypass surgery for children with moyamoya disease is described. This technique enables surgeons to create an anastomosis more precisely and quickly. No adverse effects were observed.
