Overestimated Role of Extracranial-to-Intracranial Bypass in Management of Blood-Blister Aneurysm

We read with great interest the recent article by Strickland et  al1 in your esteemed journal regarding a case series and literature review of extracranial-to-intracranial (EC-IC) reconstruction for the blood-blister aneurysm (BBA) management. In this high-quality and detailed article, the authors described 3 patients WHO were treated with an external carotid a rtery (ECA)-insular segment of middle cerebral artery (M2) high-flow bypass with a radial artery (RA) graft and a case of superficial temporal artery (STA)-M2 low-flow bypass.
