Abstract

Objective means of evaluating patients who have undergone surgical procedures designed to augment collateral blood supply to the brain are necessary if these patients are to be assessed by means other than ongoing clinical examination and repeated angiography. We have studied seven consecutive patients selected for superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass by clinical and angiographic criteria using 133xenon clearance as assessed by the inhalation technique.
