Background

The superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass augments blood flow in patients with cerebral ischemia or replaces flow in patients with complex aneurysms or skull base tumors requiring vessel sacrifice.

Method

We provide a description of the STA-MCA bypass with figures and video to illustrate the procedure.

Conclusion

The STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis is a foundational skill for the cerebrovascular surgeon and a building block for more complex bypasses.

我该怎么做：颞浅动脉-大脑中动脉旁路以增加流量和替代流量。

背景

颞浅动脉-大脑中动脉（STA-MCA）旁路可增加脑缺血患者的血流量，或替代复杂动脉瘤或需要血管处死的颅底肿瘤患者的血流。

方法

我们通过图形和视频对STA-MCA旁路进行了描述，以说明该过程。

结论

STA-MCA端侧吻合术是脑血管外科医师的基本技能，也是更复杂旁路手术的基础。
