Guiding blood flow during Moyamoya surgery in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if careful monitoring and management of blood flow during surgery can help children with Moyamoya disease recover better after EDAS. It aims to improve safety and outcomes by adjusting treatment based on real-time heart function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient is under 18 years old
- Diagnosed with Moyamoya disease
- Scheduled for EDAS surgery under general anesthesia
- Not in very poor health (ASA 4 or 5)
- No known heart disease
- Not having emergency surgery

This study at Vanderbilt tests whether certain biomarkers (signs in your blood or brain scans) can help tailor care for people with Moyamoya, a condition where blood flow to the brain is reduced. Participants will have brain scans and complete study procedures before and after surgery to improve blood flow.
This study tests whether daily aspirin, a special physical therapy called remote ischemic conditioning (RIC), or both can slow down moyamoya disease, a condition that narrows brain blood vessels and increases stroke risk. Participating may help you manage your condition and possibly prevent it from getting worse.
This trial follows people with moyamoya disease who are treated with medication only, and it also looks at first-degree relatives. The goal is to understand long-term outcomes and whether careful conservative care is beneficial over time.
This study looks at how Moyamoya disease changes over time and what predicts outcomes. It uses approved brain imaging and, likely, thinking/memory tests to understand prognosis.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to better predict the risk of bleeding in people with moyamoya disease, a rare condition where brain arteries narrow. It aims to improve prevention of bleeding strokes.
This study investigates moyamoya disease, a rare condition where blood vessels in the brain narrow over time. Researchers want to identify genetic and early warning signs by studying people diagnosed with the disease, their blood relatives, and healthy volunteers.
