    Objective:We previously developed the use of side to side(s-s) bypass for the treatment of adult moyamoya disease (MMD) and discovered several kinds of distinct blood flow models intraoperatively, which we observed through indocyanine green-video angiography (ICG-VA). The purpose of this paper was to investigate the correlation between blood flow model (BFM) identified in s-s bypass and the incidence of postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) among patients with MMD. Methods: We analyzed 166 hemispheres from 153 patients diagnosed with MMD, including 118 hemispheres with s-s bypass and 48 with end to side(e-s) bypass. We categorized the enrolled patients into three pairs of comparison groups based on postoperative CHS(CHS or Non-CHS) in s-s bypass, blood flow models(BFM Ⅰ or BFM Ⅱ ) and surgical approach(s-s bypass or e-s bypass). Patients’ demographics and characteristics were compared between groups. Results: Among patients who developed CHS, the occurrence of BFM Ⅰ was more frequent than that of BFMⅡ(0. 154 VS 0.019, P=0.029<0.05) and no significant differences were noted in the remaining data. In the group of blood flow models, the proportion of patients with a history of cerebral hemorrhage was higher in BFM II compared to BFM I (0.062 VS 0.226, P=0.009<0.05), and the incidence of severity of ischemia was found to be higher in BFM I than in BFM II(0.774 VS 0.429, P=0.011<0.05), while the postoperative modified Rankin Scale(mRS) score and the Matsushima grade displayed no obvious difference. In comparison with the occurrence of CHS in e-s bypass group(7/48,0. 146), s-s bypass group had no difference(11/118,0.093;P=0.323>0.05), BFM Ⅰ group showed no discrepancy(10/65,0.154,P=0.906>0.05) while BFM Ⅱ group was different(1/53,0.019,P=0.047<0.05). Conclusions: The proportion of postoperative CHS occurring in BFMⅡ during s-s bypass was lower than that in e-s bypass and BFM Ⅰ. The postbypass blood flow model in s-s bypass may serve as a novel predictor for postoperative CHS.
