Iatrogenic Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy After Cardiac Surgery

Key Points

• This study aims to highlight the risk of spreading β-amyloid pathology leading to cerebral amyloid angiopathy post-cardiac surgery.
• Alerted on risks associated with cadaveric dura mater patches used in cardiovascular procedures.
• Discussed interhuman transmission of β-amyloid pathology after non-neurosurgical interventions.
• Identified potential for β-amyloid pathology transmission via surgical interventions.
• Emphasized the risk of iatrogenic cerebral amyloid angiopathy following cardiac operations.
