Long-Term Risk of Ischemic Stroke After the Cox-Maze III Procedure for Atrial Fibrillation
Conclusions This multicenter study showed a low incidence of perioperative and long-term postoperative ischemic stroke/TIA after CM-III. Although general risk of ischemic stroke/TIA was reduced, patients with CHA2DS2-VASc score 2 or greater had a higher risk compared with score 0 or 1. Complete left atrial appendage excision may be an important reason for the low ischemic stroke rate.

Stroke After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation: Outcomes in the Continuous-Flow Era.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke while on CF-LVAD support was associated with significant mortality. To reduce the risk of stroke, it is essential to further elucidate risk factors, to optimize anticoagulation, and to further understand the impact of LVAD-related infections.

Predictors and Outcomes of Ischemic Stroke After Cardiac Surgery.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a devastating complication following cardiac surgery, which increases operative morbidity and mortality. Stroke with LVO was associated with worse survival. However, early intervention did not impart a survival benefit. PMID: 32199830 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke and mortality rates after off-pump vs pump-assisted/no-clamp coronary artery bypass grafting
CONCLUSIONS: A hybrid strategy incorporating off-pump, pump-assisted, and combined offpump/pump-assisted techniques achieved very low stroke rates in patients undergoing coronary revascularization. Perioperative mortality was similar for all three techniques. Avoiding aortic clamping may be crucial for decreasing CABG-related stroke rates. Off-pump/no-bypass surgery had no significant advantage over the pump-assisted/no-clamp or combined techniques in reducing the stroke rate after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.PMID:36168952 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.22.12337-2
