    Cerebral revascularization is the primary treatment for moyamoya disease, aimed at improving cerebral perfusion and reducing stroke recurrence.

  • 2

    Postoperative collateral circulation formation varies among individuals, impacting the risk of recurrent ischemia or hemorrhage.

  • 3

    Factors influencing collateral circulation include genetic susceptibility, angiogenic growth factors, and clinical variables like surgical modality and patient age.

  • 4

    Direct revascularization may improve angiographic vascular reconstruction and reduce recurrent stroke risk compared to indirect methods.

  • 5

    Poor postoperative collateral circulation formation is linked to a higher incidence of stroke and may predict long-term prognosis in moyamoya disease.
