About
Yukiko Abe is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of moyamoya disease, with a particular emphasis on intraoperative imaging and revascularization techniques. Her major contribution lies in developing a noninvasive strategy for visualizing extracranial-intracranial bypass patency during moyamoya surgery. In her most cited work, she introduced the use of intraoperative three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography with intravenous contrast injection, employing indocyanine green as a test bolus and a robotic C-arm. This innovative approach allows for real-time, high-resolution assessment of bypass grafts without the risks associated with arterial catheterization, significantly enhancing surgical precision and patient safety. Though her citation count is currently modest, her work represents a meaningful step forward in neurovascular imaging, offering a practical solution for a challenging patient population. Her dedication to refining surgical techniques underscores her commitment to improving outcomes in cerebrovascular disease, making her a rising voice in the field of neurosurgery.
