Perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction in urologic surgery

CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction were confirmed to be uncommon but devastating complications of urologic surgery, with incidence of 0.14% and 0.36%, respectively. Cystectomy was the highest risk urologic procedure. Perioperative stroke and myocardial infarction were strongly associated with age ≥ 70, hypertension, and disseminated cancer.PMID:34129461
