    Extra-Intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery is an effective procedure to restore hemodynamic insufficiency and mitigating cerebral ischemia. With increasing life expectancy, the incidence of patients with hemodynamic insufficiency is expected to rise further. Here we aimed to analyze the complications and patency rate of patients ≥70 years that underwent EC-IC bypass and compare it with a younger cohort (\u3c 70 years).Patient charts were retrospectively reviewed for diagnosis, patient presentation, type of bypass, postoperative course, and follow-up. A total of 175 patients underwent arterial bypass during the study period. A total of 158 patients were \u3c 70 years old compared with 17 patients ≥70 years old.EC-IC bypass was performed with a scalp artery in 88.2% cases in the older group and 88.0% cases in the younger group. The younger group was more likely to undergo bilateral bypass (28.1%) than the older group (0%
