Anastomosis of the extracranial superficial temporal artery to the
intracranial middle cerebral artery offers an additional source of blood to
the cerebral circulation in patients with transient ischemic episodes.
Fourteen cases are reported. Two representative cases with three
anastomoses demonstrate the use of this technique in occlusion of the
internal carotid artery, occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and
stenosis of the middle cerebral artery. Indications and contraindications
of the procedure are discussed.
