Microsurgical Techniques for Exposing the Internal Maxillary Artery in Cerebral Revascularization Surgery: A Comparative Cadaver Study
2020, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, zygomatic osteotomy was found to improve the surgical view and reduce the operative depth for the AMITF and MITF techniques, although none of the observed improvements attained statistical significance. This finding differs from the routine practice of some neurosurgeons and seems inconsistent with clinical experience.4,21,22 We considered it to be related to the decreased ductility of cadaveric tissue, which results in a smaller surgical area and less reflection of temporal muscle during the AMITF and MITF techniques.
Maxillary Artery to Intracranial Bypass
2019, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Those with good neurologic outcome showed an interval increment at mean follow-up of 40 months.69 Of 7 giant IAs treated by pterygopalatine MaxA-RAG-M2 bypass, 2 lesions underwent complete obliteration, with 5 showing small residual filling.69 Of the 7 patients, all but 1 had good neurologic outcome and no cases of perforator-territory stroke/ischemia were reported.

2018, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :Formalin can cause shrinkage of the soft tissue such that the measured volumes or distances in fresh cadavers are significantly greater than those in formalin-fixed cadavers.21 We are, therefore, concerned that the benefits associated with this technique may not translate into clinical application.57 Our team routinely uses frontotemporal craniotomy with zygomatic osteotomy without sacrificing the infratemporal crest to harvest the IMA (Figure 3).7-12
