Abstract

Bypass revascularization helps prevent complications in Moyamoya Disease (MMD). To systematically review complications associated with combined direct and indirect (CB) bypass in MMD and analyze differences between the adult and pediatric populations. A systematic literature review was conducted per PRISMA guidelines. PUBMED, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL, were queried from January 1980 to March 2022. Complications were defined as any event in the immediate post-surgical period of a minimum 3 months follow-up. Exclusion criteria included lack of surgical complication reports, non-English articles, and CB unspecified or reported separately. 18 final studies were included of 1580 procured. 1151 patients (per study range = 10-150, mean = 63.9) were analyzed. 9 (50.0%) studies included pediatric patients. There were 32 total hemorrhagic, 74 total ischemic and 16 total seizure complications, resulting in a rate of 0.04 (95% CI 0.03, 0.06), 0.7 (95% CI 0.04, 0.10) and 0.03 (95% CI 0.02, 0.05), respectively. The rate of hemorrhagic complications in the pediatric showed no significant difference from the adult subgroup (0.03 (95% CI 0.01-0.08) vs. 0.06 (95% CI 0.04-0.10, p = 0.19), such as the rate of ischemic complications (0.12 (95% CI 0.07-0.23) vs. 0.09 (95% CI 0.05-0.14, p = 0.40). Ischemia is the most common complication in CB for MMD. Pediatric patients had similar hemorrhagic and ischemic complication rates compared to adults.
