Recipient artery dissection during extracranial-intracranial bypass surgery: Two case reports

Figure 3 Intraoperative image findings (case 2). A: When arteriotomy was performed, the intima was separated from the adventitia without incision; B: The intima was additionally incised; C: We sacrificed the separated portion of the recipient artery and performed end-to-end anastomosis between the superficial temporal artery (STA) and the M4 recipient artery, where the arterial wall was not separated; D: Postoperative brain computed tomography angiography revealed anastomosis between the left STA and left middle cerebral artery with good patency.
