Robust postoperative bypass development is a characteristic of moyamoya disease (MMD); however, genetic factors mediating this phenomenon remain incompletely understood. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between postoperative donor artery development and genetic variants. We retrospectively enrolled 63 patients (79 hemispheres) who underwent combined revascularization surgery. Postoperative development of the superficial temporal artery (STA), middle meningeal artery, and deep temporal artery (DTA) was assessed using the caliber-change ratio determined from magnetic resonance angiography measurements...
