How i do it: individualized bypass strategy with tentative clamping method

Background: Cerebral Revascularization (CR) remained an indispensable arm in the neurosurgical arsenal, especially managing symptomatic hemisphere with misery perfusion (SHMP). Method: We described an a mid-aged gentleman diagnosed with progressive middle cerebral steno-occlusion following carotid endarterectomy by employing individualized arterial reconstruction with tentative clamping method (TCM) under supervision of intraoperative monitoring. An operative video was also accompanied to demonstrate further details. Conclusion: The optimal treatment strategy for SHMP should be tailored by individuals. The risk of postoperative adverse sequel can be minimized and improved neuro-cognitive status was accomplished with an aid of TCM for such prophylactic procedure. Clinical trial registration: NA.
