| Comment: | Stroke patients with large artery occlusion have a high risk of recurrent cerebral ischemia despite aggressive medical treatment. Surgical revascularization with extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass has remained a controversial treatment option. Over the last 2 decades, much has been learnt on the clinical and neuroimaging criteria for selection of patients with critical cerebral hypoperfusion most likely to benefit from EC-IC bypass, together with advances in operative techniques in this procedure. You are warmly invited to participate in this exciting symposium on the recent advances in EC-IC bypass to review on this important topic and share your experience, to make new friends and rekindle old acquaintances, and to explore the many cultural and culinary attractions, in the beautiful garden city state of Singapore. |
