About
Gota Nagayama is a pioneering neurosurgeon whose work centers on the surgical treatment of cerebrovascular disease, with a particular focus on moyamoya disease. His major contribution lies in advancing intraoperative imaging techniques to improve the safety and efficacy of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery. Nagayama developed a novel, noninvasive strategy using intraoperative three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography (3D DSA) with intravenous contrast injection, guided by indocyanine green (ICG) as a test bolus, and a robotic C-arm. This method allows for real-time, high-resolution visualization of bypass patency without the risks of arterial catheterization, a significant leap in surgical precision. His most-cited paper, "Visualization of extracranial-intracranial bypass in moyamoya patients using intraoperative three-dimensional digital subtraction angiography with intravenous contrast injection and robotic C-arm: patient series" (2021), has garnered 3 citations, reflecting its niche but critical impact. Nagayama’s work exemplifies a commitment to minimizing invasiveness while maximizing surgical outcomes, offering a safer path for patients with complex cerebrovascular conditions. His innovative approach stands as a notable achievement, bridging imaging technology and neurosurgical practice.
