title: Ruptured infectious aneurysms of the distal MCA treated with trapping and STA-MCA bypass surgery.
abstract: We describe two patients with ruptured infectious aneurysms of the distal MCA, which were successfully treated by trapping and superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass surgery. Our patients had not experienced any ischemic attack postoperatively. Trapping and STA-MCA bypass surgery can be a useful option.
