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.

Role of Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring in Preventing Stroke after Cardiac Surgery
CONCLUSIONS: Permanent EEG change and diabetes were significant postoperative stroke predictors in cardiac surgeries. Furthermore, overall survival out to 10-years postoperatively was significantly higher in the group without intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring changes, emphasizing its important predictive role.PMID:36634835 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.01.004

Annual atrial tachyarrhythmia burden determined by device interrogation in patients with cardiac implanted electronic devices is associated with a risk of ischaemic stroke independent of known risk factors ADULT CARDIAC
CONCLUSIONS Patients who accumulated an AT duration exceeding 5% (18 days) of the total time in any of the 1-year periods are more likely to have an ischaemic stroke than those who have a low or zero AT burden.

Risk factors for perioperative ischemic stroke in cardiac surgery
Conclusion:Risk factors for ischemic stroke were carotid stenosis of 70% or more, diabetes on insulin and peripheral arteriopathy.ResumoObjetivo:O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar os fatores de risco para acidente vascular encefálico isquêmico em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca.Métodos:Entre janeiro de 2010 e dezembro de 2012, foram analisados prospectivamente 519 pacientes consecutivos submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca. A amostra foi dividida em dois grupos: os pacientes com acidente vascular encefálico isquêmico (AVEi) trans e pós-operatório foram alocados no grupo GAVEi (n=22) e os demais pacie...

Updated Meta-analysis on the Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale in Reduction of Stroke Rates: the DEFENSE-PFO Trial Does not Change the Scenario
Conclusion: This meta-analysis found that stroke rates are lower with percutaneously implanted device closure than with medical therapy alone, being these rates modulated by the rates of hypertension, atrial septal aneurysm and effective closure. The publication of a new trial did not change the scenario in the medical literature.

The impact of CHADS2 score on late stroke after the Cox maze procedure
Conclusions: The risk of stroke or transient ischemic attack in patients after a surgical Cox maze procedure was low and not associated with CHADS2 score or warfarin use. Given the known risks of warfarin, we recommend discontinuation of anticoagulation 3 months after the procedure if the patient has no evidence of atrial fibrillation, has discontinued antiarrhythmic medications, and is without any other indication for systemic anticoagulation.
