Assessment of Stroke and Concomitant Cerebrovascular Disease with Heart Disease Requires Invasive Treatment: Analysis of 249 Consecutive Patients with Heart Disease.
Conclusion The risk of perioperative stroke was very low in combined cardiac disease and the CVD. However, for preventing ischemic stroke due to the predetected cerebrovascular lesions, precautionary efforts could be needed for patients undergoing an invasive cardiac procedure, and concomitant cerebrovascular lesions should be considered as main source of delayed ischemic stroke.

Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Stroke-Exploratory Analysis of the GOPCABE Trial and Methodological Considerations.
CONCLUSION:  Within recent prospective randomized multicenter trials off-pump CABG did not result in lower stroke rates. The possible intrinsic benefit of off-pump CABG may be offset by the complexity of the operative therapy as well as the multiple pathomechanisms involved in perioperative stroke.

Degree of Carotid Artery Stenosis in Neurologically Asymptomatic Cardiac Surgical Patients Suffering from Perioperative Stroke: Results of an Observational Study.
Conclusion This observational study demonstrates that the degree of carotid stenosis in neurologically asymptomatic cardiac surgical patients is not able to predict the probability of perioperative stroke. Until further results from prospective randomized trials with neurologically asymptomatic cardiac surgical patients are presented, a cautious attitude for concomitant carotid endarterectomy is still justified.

Computed Tomography Scan Predicts Abdominal Interventions but Not Stroke after Surgery for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection.
Conclusion In patients undergoing surgery for AAAD, analysis of preoperative CT images allows identifying those with a high risk of postoperative abdominal intervention for visceral malperfusion. Postoperative stroke is best predicted by preoperative neurologic symptoms. PMID: 25866976 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Carotid Stenosis in Cardiac Surgery-No Difference in Postoperative Outcomes.
Conclusion This study suggests that patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis undergoing cardiac surgery are not at increased risk of postoperative complications and mortality; thus, prophylactic carotid revascularization may not be indicated. PMID: 26906971 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Ligation of Left Atrial Appendage during Off-Pump Coronary Surgery.
CONCLUSION:  Epicardial ligation of LAA during OPCAB in patients with AF may reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in long-term follow-up and does not affect the mortality. PMID: 31505691 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does Undersizing of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Bioprostheses during Valve-in-Valve Implantation Avoid Coronary Obstruction? An In Vitro Study.
Conclusions In our in vitro model, undersized TAViVI with the balloon-expandable Sapien XT into a modern generation SAVB (Trifecta) successfully avoided coronary flow obstruction. PMID: 27304222 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Adverse Cerebral Outcomes after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery-More Than a Decade of Experience in a Single Center.
CONCLUSIONS:  A low incidence rate of adverse cerebral outcomes after CABG in community hospital can be achieved with the use of the suggested surgical intensive care, and anesthetic strategy. Advanced age, congestive heart failure, and prior stroke are associated with adverse outcomes. PMID: 29642244 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Serum Neuron-Specific Enolase Level as Predictor of Neurologic Outcome after Aortic Surgery.
CONCLUSION:  Serum NSE level is a significant predictor of adverse neurologic outcomes and extent of stroke after thoracic aortic surgery. PMID: 30669174 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mid-Term Outcomes after Transapical and Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis and Porcelain Aorta with a Systematic Review of Transfemoral versus Transapical Approach.
CONCLUSION:  TA-TAVI shows promising early and mid-term outcomes in patients with PAo. TF-TAVI performed in patients with PAo is likely to be associated with higher rates of stroke than TA-TAVI. PMID: 31242522 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Outcome of Revascularizing the Left Subclavian Artery via Carotid-Subclavian Bypass
CONCLUSION: Carotid-subclavian bypass surgery is associated with very low risk of death, stroke, or any nerve palsy. Lateral access to the left subclavian artery reduces the risk of phrenic nerve injury.PMID:37257506 | DOI:10.1055/s-0043-1769101
