Is there anyone who has had only the indirect surgery?? (EMS) Or no of anyone who has only had it done without the direct surgery too?

Hello, My 2 year old daughter also had just the indirect bypass on both sides. I remember hearing that they usually do the indirect on baby's and children because there brains are still growing and the new vessels form like a vine. I don't know if that is always the case. It has been a year and a half since surgery and her blood flow is good. Danielle

I had EMS surgery in 2004 on the right side at the University of Iowa Hospitals. I have had only one TIA since then. When I need to have more surgery I will go back to them.
