Purpose This study was aimed to directly measure cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) gas tensions and pH before and after STA-MCA anastomosis for occlusive carotid artery diseases to investigate its direct effects on the ischemic brain. Methods This study included 9 patients who underwent STA-MCA anastomosis...
