Abstract: Introduction: Cerebrovascular bypass surgery is technically demanding, with dozens of modifiable parameters influencing operative decision-making. Thoughtful selection of needle and suture materials is critical to success in these operations. Methods: Based on the authors' experiences and existing literature, a brief guide to needle and suture selection is provided. Results: Recommendations for needle and suture have taken into consideration key features of bypass constructs, such as bypass type, vessel caliber, and working space.
