Abstract

The rationale for the consideration of an occipital artery-caudal loop-posterior inferior cerebellar artery (OA-caudal loop-PICA) anastomosis, the patient selection, and the surgical techniques have been previously described.1–7 In this report, after a general summary of the patients who underwent this procedure, four patients who either showed postoperative neurologic deficits or died will be discussed.
