What are the outcomes for patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Moyamoya Disease?
A study by Fryer RH, Anderson RC, Chiriboga CA, and Feldstein NA (2001) found that the outcomes for patients with Sickle Cell Anemia and Moyamoya Disease who underwent the EDAS procedure were generally favorable. Hankinson TC et al (2008) also found that the outcomes following encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis surgery for these patients were generally positive. However, further research is needed to accurately assess the long-term prognosis for this patient population.
