Why the study?
Perioperative strokes occur in up to 10% of cardiac surgery cases, with particularly high risk in coronary artery bypass grafting and heart valve procedures.
Perioperative stroke is a significant risk in cardiac surgery (up to 10%), requiring careful preoperative assessment, intraoperative monitoring, and mechanical thromboembolectomy if reperfusion is needed.
Preoperative stroke risk assessment merits attention in cardiac surgery; Level 5 evidence leaves optimal protocols open for prospective study.
