    Abstract Objective: We describe the chronological trends in cerebral revascularization surgery through a single-surgeon experience; and we review whether in the context of giant and fusiform cerebral aneurysms, flow-diverting stents have impacted on the use of cerebral revascularization surgery.
    Methods: We review our single institution prospectively collected database of cerebral revascularization procedures between 2006 and 2018. Comparing this to our database of flow-diverting endovascular stent procedures, we compare the treatment of fusiform and giant aneurysms. We describe patient demographics, procedural incidence, complications, and outcomes.
    Results: Between 2006 and 2018, 50 cerebral revascularization procedures were performed. The incidence of cerebral revascularization surgery is declining. In the context of giant/fusiform aneurysm treatment, the decline in cerebral revascularization is accompanied by a rise in the use of flow-diverting endovascular stents. Thirty cerebral revascularizations were performed for moyamoya disease and 11 for giant/fusiform aneurysm. Four (14%) direct bypass grafts occluded without neurological sequela. Other morbidity included hydrocephalus (2%), transient ischemic attacks (2%), and ischemic stroke (2%). There was one procedure-related mortality (2%). Flow-diverting stents were inserted for seven fusiform and seven giant aneurysms. Comparing the treatment of giant/fusiform aneurysms, there was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality between cerebral revascularization and flow-diverting endovascular stents.
    Conclusion: We conclude that with the decline in the incidence of cerebral revascularization surgery, there is a need for centralization of services to allow high standards and outcomes to be maintained.

    Abstract Malignant acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is characterized by acute neurological deterioration caused by progressive space-occupying brain edema, often occurring in the first hours to days after symptom onset. Without any treatment, the result is often fatal. Despite advances in treatment for AIS, up to 80% of patients with a large hemispheric stroke or cerebellar stroke are at risk of poor outcome. Decompressive surgery can be life-saving in a subgroup of patients with malignant AIS, but uncertainties exist on patient selection, predictors of malignant infarction, perioperative management, and timing of intervention. Although survivors are left disabled, most agree with the original decision to undergo surgery and would make the same decision again. In this narrative review, we focus on the clinical and radiological predictors of malignant infarction in AIS and outline the technical aspects of decompressive surgery as well as duraplasty and cranioplasty. We discuss the current evidence and recommendations for surgery in AIS, highlighting gaps in knowledge, and suggest directions for future studies. KEY POINTS: · Acute ischemic stroke from occlusion of a proximal intracranial artery can progress quickly to malignant edema, which can be fatal in 80% of patients despite medical management.. · Decompression surgery is life-saving within 48 hours of stroke onset, but the benefits beyond this time and in the elderly are unknown.. · Decompressive surgery is associated with high morbidity, particularly in the elderly. The decision to operate must be made after considering the individual's preference and expectations of quality of life in the context of the clinical condition.. · Further studies are needed to refine surgical technique including value of duraplasty and understand the role monitoring intracranial pressure during and after decompressive surgery.. · More studies are needed on the pathophysiology of malignant cerebral edema, prediction models including imaging and biomarkers to identify which subgroup of patients will benefit from decompressive surgery.. · More research is needed on factors associated with morbidity and mortality after cranioplasty, safety and efficacy of implants, and comparisons between them.. · Further studies are needed to assess the long-term effects of physical disability and quality of life of survivors after surgery, particularly those with severe neurological deficits..
