title: The Role of MCA-STA Bypass Surgery After COSS and JET: The European Point of View.
abstract: The results of the previously published Carotid Occlusion Surgery Study (COSS) and the Japanese EC-IC Bypass Trial (JET) seem to influence the position towards surgical treatment for ischemic cerebrovascular disease (Ogasawara and Ogawa, Nihon Rinsho 64(Suppl 7):524-527, 2006; Powers et al., JAMA 306:1983-1992, 2011).The goal of this article is to give the European point of view after COSS and JET on behalf of the Cerebrovascular Section of the European Association of Neurological Surgeons (EANS).
