Article Abstract
Purpose: Misery perfusion is defined as marginally sufficient cerebral blood supply relative to cerebral metabolic demand. The aim of the present study was to determine the optimal brain Tc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (ECD) SPECT imaging and analysis to detect misery perfusion on O PET imaging in patients with chronic occlusive disease of unilateral internal carotid or middle cerebral artery (MCA).
Methods: For 97 patients, cerebral blood flow, cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen, and oxygen extraction fraction were measured using O PET; Tc-ECD SPECT was performed using dynamic scanning with a scan duration of 10 minutes each for 50 minutes after tracer administration. A region of interest was placed in the bilateral MCA territories and in the bilateral cerebellar hemispheres in all standardized images using a 3-dimensional stereotaxic region-of-interest template and affected-to-contralateral asymmetry ratio in the MCA territory (ARMCA) and contralateral-to-affected asymmetry ratio in the cerebellar hemisphere (ARcbl) were calculated.
Results: The ARMCA or ARcbl on Tc-ECD SPECT with a scan time of 20 to 30 minutes after tracer administration (ARMCA20-30 or ARcbl20-30) was correlated with ARMCA on PET cerebral blood flow (r = 0.654) or ARMCA on PET cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (r = 0.576), respectively, more strongly than with other scan times. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for detecting abnormally elevated ARMCA on PET oxygen extraction fraction was significantly greater for ARcbl20-30/ARMCA20-30 (0.947) than for ARMCA20-30 alone (0.780) (difference between areas, 0.167; P = 0.0001) on Tc-ECD SPECT.
Conclusions: Combination of asymmetries in the cerebellar and cerebral hemispheres on Tc-ECD SPECT in a scan time of 20 to 30 minutes after tracer administration optimally detects misery perfusion in unilateral internal carotid artery or MCA occlusive disease.

Introduction: The present prospective observational study aimed to clarify the impacts of different types of revascularization surgery on the inability to achieve postoperative return-to-work (RTW) among working-age adults (age range, 30-60 years) with ischemic-onset moyamoya disease (MMD) and misery perfusion.
Methods: Of 52 patients who were employed full-time at the onset of ischemic symptoms, 29 underwent direct revascularization in the first study period and 23 underwent indirect revascularization alone in the second study period. Whether each patient achieved a return to their original employment within 6 months after surgery was determined.
A non-invasive, reference region-based method for quantification of cerebral blood flow and oxygen metabolism using oxygen-15 labeled gases and positron emission tomography.

Objectives: Measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO) by positron emission tomography (PET) with oxygen-15 labeled gases is widely used for investigation into the pathophysiology of occlusive cerebrovascular disease. However, all methods for quantification of CBF, CBV, OEF, and CMRO by PET with oxygen-15 labeled gases require invasive arterial blood sampling. The present study developed a reference region-based method for quantification of CBF, CBV, OEF, and CMRO using PET and oxygen-15 labeled gases based on the steady-state method without invasive arterial blood sampling.

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.

Introduction: Revascularization surgery is recommended for all pediatric patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) with ischemic symptoms because the brains of such patients are still developing. By contrast, no clear guidelines for selective revascularization surgery in adult patients (30 years or more) with ischemic presentation have been established. Regarding the age of initial onset of ischemic MMD, patients in their 20s are at the bottom of the distribution and this age group may share features with both adult and pediatric patients.

Objective: The long-term prognosis of elderly patients with moyamoya disease (MMD) is not fully understood and needs to be elucidated.
Methods: MMD patients who first visited our institute between 1999 and 2019, were ≥ 50 years of age, and were followed for ≥1 year were retrospectively included. Follow-up data such as stroke and disease progression on magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) were collected from medical records.
