The majority of complications (21 ischemic and 13 hemorrhagic episodes) occurred prior to or within 1 month after chemotherapy. Fatal neurological deterioration developed after cardiac surgery in 2 patients. Both of them...

...Raymond Hupperts; Wim Wetzelaer; Lisette Heuts-van Raak; Jan Lodder We evaluated the hypothesis that if hypotension or hypoperfusion is a major cause of border zone brain infarction, infarcts following cardiac surgery will be likely to be located in the vascular border zone areas, whereas cerebral...

... to cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The use of biochemical markers of cerebral injury may be of practical value. We investigated the plasma release patterns of S-100 protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) during the intervention and their relationship with the development of neuropsychological...

If there was stenosis greater than 50% then carotid endarterectomy was performed before cardiac surgery. Time between both procedures depended...
