Surgical options simulated for patient 3. (a) Preoperative geometry; (b) Dominant vertebral artery occlusion with a dominant vertebral-to-PCA bypass; (c) Occlusion of the smaller vertebral and clipping the basilar artery below the apex with a bypass from the dominant vertebral to the PCA; (d) Mid-basilar occlusion with dominant vertebral-to-PCA bypass; (e) Occlusion of both vertebrals with the flow provided by a bypass to AICA; (f) Adding PCOM arteries to connect with anterior circulation; (g) Actual procedure: mid-basilar occlusion with an MCA-to-PCA bypass; and (h) Clipping the basilar artery at the apex above the SCAs with an MCA-to-PCA bypass.
