Abstract

Objective

To test the hypothesis that extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery, added to best medical therapy, reduces subsequent ipsilateral ischemic stroke in patients with recently symptomatic AICAO and hemodynamic cerebral ischemia.

Design

Parallel-group, randomized, open-label, blinded-adjudication clinical treatment trial conducted from 2002 to 2010.
