MeSH Heading: Cerebral Revascularization
Tree Number(s): E04.100.814.868.625; E04.494.150
Unique ID: D002548
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002548
Scope Note: Microsurgical revascularization to improve intracranial circulation. It usually involves joining the extracranial circulation to the intracranial circulation but may include extracranial revascularization (e.g., subclavian-vertebral artery bypass, subclavian-external carotid artery bypass). It is performed by joining two arteries (direct anastomosis or use of graft) or by free autologous transplantation of highly vascularized tissue to the surface of the brain.
Entry Term(s): Brain Revascularization; Cerebral Microsurgical Revascularization; EC-IC Arterial Bypass; Extracranial-Intracranial Arterial Bypass; Microsurgical Revascularization, Cerebral; STA-MCA Bypass
NLM Classification #: WL 355
