    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Successful new vascularization of internal-to-external cerebral collateral flow [6 months]

      transdural neovascularization: absent vs. present) from 6- vessel angiography

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Early Neurological Deterioration (END) during admission [14 days]

      NIHSS scores are daily assessed during admission and neurological deterioration is designated as at least 2-point decrease of NIHSS during 14 days after admission

    2. Adverse events during the study period [up to 6 months]

      Overall adverse events (early neurological deterioration; adverse events within 7 days after operation; and adverse events during the study period
