EMS and EDAMS
Contents
In brief: EMS uses vascularized temporalis muscle as an indirect donor tissue. EDAMS combines dura, a scalp artery, and muscle in an indirect revascularization construct.
Use in moyamoya disease
Section titled “Use in moyamoya disease”The tissues are placed in contact with the brain so collateral vessels can develop over time. These techniques can broaden the area available for angiogenesis but may produce temporary swelling or chewing discomfort related to the muscle.
They belong to the established family of indirect operations described in moyamoya management guidance. [1]
Clinical detail
Section titled “Clinical detail”Names and combinations vary among centers. The angiographic territory supplied after healing matters more than the acronym alone.
Follow-up imaging evaluates whether useful collateral vessels actually developed.
