Key result
Cardiac surgery and interventional cardiac procedures are associated with central and peripheral nervous system complications, most commonly strokes and seizures.
This review outlines the neuroanatomic and pathophysiologic approach to neurologic complications, such as strokes and seizures, following cardiac procedures.
May warrant vigilance for neurologic complications after cardiac procedures; leaves open optimal prevention strategies.
Neurologic complications of cardiac surgery and interventional cardiac procedures may affect the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system. The most common central nervous system complications are strokes and seizures. This article provides a succinct neuroanatomic and pathophysiologic approach to a wide array of neurologic complications associated with cardiac procedures.
