To report the clinical features, surgical treatment, and long-term outcomes of adults with moyamoya phenomenon treated at a single institution in the United States. Forty-three adult patients with moyamoya disease (mean age of 40+/−11 years; range 18 to 69) were treated with encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS). Neurologists examined patients pre- and post-operatively. Follow-up was obtained in-person or by structured telephone interview (median 41 months; range 4 to 126). The following outcomes were collected: transient ischemic attack (TIA), infarction, graft collateralization, change in cerebral perfusion, and functional level according to the modified Rankin scale (mRS). Kaplan-Meier infarction risk was calculated between operated and contralateral hemispheres. The majority of patients were women (65%), Caucasian (65%), presented with ischemic symptoms (98%), and had bilateral disease (86%). Nineteen patients underwent unilateral and 24 patients bilateral EDAS (n=67). Fifty of 52 (98%) patients with available imaging developed collateral vessels, and 41 of 50 (82%) had increased perfusion on SPECT scan. The incidence of peri-procedural hemisphere infarction (<48 hours) was 3%. In the follow-up period patients experienced 10 TIAs, 6 infarcts, and 1 intracranial hemorrhage. Although the hemisphere selected for surgery was based upon patient symptoms and severity of pathology, the five year infarction free survival rate was 94% in operated hemispheres versus less than 36% in non-operated hemispheres (p=0.007). After controlling for age and sex, operative hemispheres were 89% less likely to experience infarction than contralateral hemispheres (hazard ratio: 0.11; 95% CI 0.02–0.56). Thirty-eight of 43 patients (88%) had preserved or improvement in mRS over baseline status. In this mixed race population of North American patients, indirect bypass promoted adequate pial collateral development and increased perfusion in the majority of adult patients with moyamoya disease. Patients had low rates of postoperative TIAs, infarction, and hemorrhage, and the majority of patients had preserved or improved functional status.
