Research Focus
Based in Boston, we provide some of the top cerebrovascular care in the United States, utilizing innovative treatments and the latest research to guide our procedures.
Moyamoya
Moyamoya disease is a progressive condition that causes narrowing and contour irregularity of the arteries supplying the brain, usually the internal carotid arteries and their major branches, the MCA and ACA. In children, MMD most often causes ischemic stroke, and the only effective treatment is surgical revascularization. Our group has pioneered novel surgical approaches for MMD, but the timing of surgical intervention remains unclear. Our research focuses on advanced imaging techniques that go beyond vessel visualization to extract information on underlying brain perfusion and the structural integrity of white matter tracts in the affected regions. We hope that such information will help identify appropriate candidates for surgery early on, thereby improving clinical outcomes.
