Guidance
The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has issued full guidance to the NHS in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on laser-assisted cerebral vascular anastomosis without temporary arterial occlusion.
Description
Arteries in the head may need to be bypassed as part of an operation, usually because of 'ballooning' or blockage of arteries. Laser-assisted cerebral vascular anastomosis without temporary arterial occlusion aims to create a bypass without the need to temporarily interrupt the blood flow to the brain.
