Key result
Perioperative stroke risk reduction and management require careful risk-factor stratification and targeted interventions for high-risk patients, such as those with carotid stenosis.
This review provides guidance on the pathophysiology, risk-factor stratification, risk reduction, and management of perioperative stroke.

May inform perioperative stroke prevention via risk stratification; leaves open prospective validation of targeted interventions.
Stroke is one of the most feared complications of surgery. This article reviews the pathophysiology of perioperative stroke, explains risk-factor stratification, and provides guidance on risk reduction — for example, in patients with carotid stenosis. The review also summarizes the management of stroke in the perioperative period.
