I have MoyaMoya. He did a bilateral STA-MCA bypass. The left bypass closed before the 6 mo follow up. He said it looks like I didn’t need to do the second surgery. (This was the first one he did.). After the one year follow up, he finally told me the left bypass closed and there was nothing more they could surgically do for me. So, I sent my info to Stanford. Dr. Steinberg told me I need a bilateral STA-MCA bypass and indirect bypasses. I wish I’d have known about Stanford before he did my surgeries.
