Effect of Recombinant Human EPO on the Postoperative Neurologic Outcome in Pediatric Moyamoya Patients

Summary

This study evaluates the effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) on the neovascularization of pediatric moyamoya disease patients. rHuEPO will be administrated during perioperative period of the first revascularization surgery. Primary outcome (Incidence of Good postoperative MCA territory revascularization by cerebral angiography) will be evaluated after 3-6 month of revascularization surgery.
