We’re proud to share a remarkable milestone for Mercy Health - The Jewish Hospital in their continued journey to advance stroke care in our Cincinnati, Ohio region. Neurosurgeons Solimon Oushy, MD and Michael Robinson, MD successfully performed the hospital’s first direct bypass from the superficial temporal artery to the middle cerebral artery (MCA) — a complex and rare procedure that immediately restores blood flow to the brain. This life-saving surgery was performed on a patient experiencing dangerously high blood pressure, right-side weakness, and speech difficulties—signs of a severe cerebrovascular blockage. Unlike indirect methods that can take months to take effect, this direct bypass provides instant revascularization, restoring oxygen to the brain when every second counts. This achievement was made possible through the seamless collaboration of the surgical, anesthesia, and neuro critical care teams, supported by the cutting-edge infrastructure of the new Comprehensive Stroke Center at The Jewish Hospital.
