Indirect revascularisation for paediatric moyamoya disease: the EDAMS technique.
Moyamoya disease can have devastating effects on paediatric patients as a result of cerebral ischaemia. Several direct and indirect surgical methods have been devised in order to facilitate revascularisation. Debate has long ensued about which methods are most efficacious and yet safe. The authors describe their experience with a straightforward method for performing the EDAMS (encephalo-duro-arterio-myo-synangiosis) technique.
