Carotid Artery, Internal
Conditions
Brief summary
Little is known about how general anesthesia-induced decrease in cerebral blood flow in pediatric moyamoya pateints. We investigated this question in patients undergoing moyamoya surgery, hypothesizing that cardiorespiratory changes during this procedure would reduce cerebral perfusion.
Interventions
Ultrasound assessment of internal carotid artery blood flow
