“…The posterior branch of the STA has been described in the literature as being usually the bigger and longer branch of the two terminal branches of STA, as it goes to anastomose its branches with the contralateral one. [20,21] It, therefore, provided enough length to reach the A3 segment of the ACA without requiring an interposition graft. The blood flow will continue into the territory of the obliterated vessel through the preserved anterior communication artery and the revascularization [Figure 2f].…”

Microvascular revascularization for recurrent A1 anterior cerebral artery aneurysm postendovascular treatment: A case report and review of the literature

et al. 2019

The recurrence of aneurysms postcoil embolization is a common occurrence. Endovascular coiling has been noted to be more effective for small lesions rather than the giant aneurysms. A postembolization recurrent aneurysm is a difficult condition to manage. We present a case of a recurrent giant aneurysm of the anterior cerebral arteries (ACAs) first segment (A1). It was managed by superficial temporal artery to A3 segment of anterior cerebral artery bypass anastomotic revascularization plus distal A1- segment clipping. A literature review is presented for the management of giant A1 artery aneurysms.

“…8 The mainstay treatment for MMD is extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery, with superficial temporal artery-middle cerebral artery (STA-MCA) bypass shown to improve patient outcomes and prevent hemodynamic stress and rebleeding. 36 For this reason, the ability to hemodynamically evaluate patients before and after surgical intervention is imperative, a perfect niche for ASL.…”

Neuroimaging is an indispensable tool in the workup and management of patients with neurological disorders. Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is an imaging modality that permits the examination of blood flow and perfusion without the need for contrast injection. Noninvasive in nature, ASL provides a feasible alternative to existing vascular imaging techniques, including angiography and perfusion imaging. While promising, ASL has yet to be fully incorporated into the diagnosis and management of neurological disorders. This article presents a review of the most recent literature on ASL, with a special focus on its use in moyamoya disease, brain neoplasms, seizures, and migraines and a commentary on recent advances in ASL that make the imaging technique more attractive as a clinically useful tool.

“…STA-MCA bypass is most suitable for complex MCA and ICA aneurysms when the recipient is the M3/M4 segment [61,72]. To induce intra-aneurysmal thrombus and avoid distal ischemia, STA-MCA can be performed during proximal/distal clipping of the parent artery [61,73]. Insurance STA-MCA bypass has been performed to support the MCA territory during its prolonged temporary occlusion or during installation of high-flow bypass [61].…”

The superficial temporal artery (STA) plays a very important role in neurovascular diseases and procedures. However, until now, no comprehensive review of the role of STA in neurovascular diseases from a neurosurgical perspective has ever been published. To review research on the clinical importance of STA in neurovascular diseases, a literature search was performed using the PubMed database. Articles were screened for suitability and data relevance. This paper was organized following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. According to the literature, STA is one of the terminal branches of the external carotid artery and can give off scalp, muscle, and transosseous branches. STA-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass is very useful for intracranial ischemic diseases, including moyamoya disease, chronic ICA and MCA insufficiency, and even acute ischemic stroke. For intracranial complex aneurysms, STA bypass remains a major option that can serve as flow replacement bypass during aneurysmal trapping or insurance bypass during temporary parent artery occlusion. Occasionally, the STA can also be involved in dural AVFs (DAVFs) via to its transosseous branches. In addition, the STA can be used as an intraoperative angiography path and the path to provide endovascular treatments. Therefore, STA is a very important artery in neurovascular diseases.
