    Abstract:
    Bypass surgery has been used as a remedy for the complex cerebral aneurysm, which was unsolved with the clipping method. However, little has been reported about bypass options for anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysms. The authors experienced two patients with complex ACA aneurysms, large fusiform and large thrombosed aneurysms involving the distal A1 and proximal A2 segments, respectively. To achieve complete obliteration of the aneurysm, we performed a superficial temporal artery (STA)-ACA bypass using contralateral STA as interposition grafts with endovascular trapping without any ischemic events. These cases show that STA-ACA bypass using contralateral STA interposition graft is a feasible option to maintain blood supply to the ACA territory if a proximal ACA lesion requires trapping.
