ObjectivePostoperative intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after direct bypass surgery for Moyamoya disease could contribute to neurologic deterioration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of 5-day bed rest in reducing the occurrence of postoperative ICH.MethodsThis study included 122 consecutive hemispheres in 87 Japanese adult MMD patients, composed of 80 control hemispheres from historical data and 42 hemispheres after 5-day bed rest. They all underwent direct bypass surgery. The incidence of postoperative ICH and neurologic deterioration assessed via the modified Rankin Scale were investigated and statistically analyzed.ResultsPostoperative ICH was observed in 9 out of the 80 (11.3%) control patients, but not in the 42 patients with 5-day bed rest. The incidence of postoperative ICH and neurologic deterioration via the modified Rankin Scale were significantly different between the 2 groups (P = 0.0268 and 0.0078, respectively). Univariate logistic analysis revealed that 5-day bed rest significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative ICH (P = 0.0048).ConclusionsFive-day bed rest after direct bypass surgery dramatically can reduce the incidence of postoperative ICH and neurologic deterioration after direct bypass surgery.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.
