Relationship Between Cardiac Surgery and Acute Ischemic Stroke: An Examination in Terms of Clinical, Radiological, and Functional Outcomes and Possible Pathophysiological Mechanisms

CONCLUSION: Calculation of cerebrovascular reserve with extra/intracranial vascular imaging is important in patients with multiple risk factors, whose association with stroke has been determined before cardiac surgery. We believe that cardiovascular surgery and neurology multidisciplinary prospective randomized studies should be conducted to obtain pre-, peri- and post-procedural risk calculation scales, according to cardiac surgery type and to reshape surgical procedures accordingly.PMID:34473018 | DOI:10.1532/hsf.4007
