RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Revascularization (CR) remained an indispensable arm in the neurosurgical arsenal, especially managing symptomatic hemisphere with misery perfusion (SHMP). METHOD: We described an a mid-aged gentleman diagnosed with progressive middle cerebral steno-occlusion following carotid endarterectomy by employing individualized arterial reconstruction with tentative clamping method (TCM) under supervision of intraoperative monitoring. An operative video was also accompanied to demonstrate further details. CONCLUSION: The optimal treatment strategy for SHMP should be tailored by individuals. The risk of postoperative adverse sequel can be minimized and improved neuro-cognitive status was accomplished with an aid of TCM for such prophylactic procedure. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: NA.

BACKGROUND: Internal maxillary artery (IMA) bypass has become popularized due to its medium-to-high blood flow, short graft length, and well-matched arterial caliber between donor and recipient vessels. METHOD: We described an open surgery of a NEW "workhorse," the IMA bypass, to treat a giant, thrombosed cerebral aneurysm. The extracranial middle infratemporal fossa (EMITF) approach was used to unveil the pterygoid segment of the IMA for cerebral revascularization. CONCLUSION: Although this technique is technically challenging, the variations in IMA can be effectively identified and sufficiently exposed in this technique to achieve favorable clinical outcomes with a high bypass patency rate.
