    The study contrasts direct bypass surgery with endovascular recanalization in adult ischemic moyamoya disease.

  • 2

    Significant selection bias may influence treatment cohort comparisons, affecting perceived equivalence in outcomes.

  • 3

    Inadequate follow-up duration limits assessment of long-term effectiveness and risks of restenosis in endovascular recanalization.

  • 4

    The pathophysiological rationale for mechanical recanalization in moyamoya disease remains unclear and may have limited efficacy.

  • 5

    Further prospective studies with longer follow-up are necessary to clarify the role of endovascular techniques in moyamoya disease.
