Posted by lsmcdwll @lsmcdwll, May 24, 2012

Had STA-MCA Bypass and EDAS surgery on May 9th at Mayo Jacksonville for MoyaMoya. Excellent recovery.....let to go home before lunch on May 11th. Dr. Ricardo Hanel and his team is beyond fantastic. I feel better than I have felt in YEARS. Who knew a totally blocked middle cerebral artery and right side brain volume at 50% could possibly make ya feel so bad??!!! HEHEHE Good Grief!! Just glad to still be here!

Congratulations, I hope you don't mind me asking what was the blockage? Like was it plaque or what ? I have moyamoya due from scar tissue from radiation therapy I had when I was 5 years old.

Hi, @badresser - I'm not certain of the answer to your question, but I'd recommend searching on your browser to find Google Scholar and then searching there for the research you're hoping to find.
