The safety and clinical effectiveness of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery in elderly patients with atherosclerotic internal carotid artery and/or middle cerebral artery steno-occlusive (ACMSO) disease remain ambiguous. Here, we analyzed our experience of EC-IC bypass surgery to evalu...
