Saphenous vein graft for bypass of the maxillary to supraclinoid internal carotid artery: an anatomical short study.
Annals of Vascular Surgery 2001 September
The use of a saphenous vein graft for bypass of the maxillary artery (MA) to the supraclinoid internal carotid artery (ICA) in internal carotid occlusions is investigated. Five adult cadaver sides were used. Dissection required zygomatic arch osteotomy and a pterional craniotomy with extensive removal of the floor of the middle cranial fossa. The MA was found easily medial to infratemporal crest. The clinoidal segment of the ICA was exposed with the removal of the anterior clinoid process intradurally. The bypass graft was 4 to 5 cm long and was sutured end-to-end to the MA and end-to-side to the supraclinoid ICA. When high blood flow is needed in cases with ICA occlusion, such a bypass may be an alternative to superficial temporal (STA)-to-middle cerebral artery (MCA) bypass as well as to common carotid-to-MCA or-ICA bypass, which needs a long vein graft. This type of bypass will provide the opportunity to clip the ICA proximal to the origin of ophthalmic artery, which may inhibit distal embolization.
