Stroke associated with cerebral angiography

Cerebral revascularization: surgical and endovascular approaches

Revascularization procedures aim to reduce the risk of subsequent stroke by restoring or improving cerebral blood flow, and in some cases aim to reverse the ongoing effects of ischemia. Presently, steno-occlusive lesions in the carotid and vertebrobasilar circulations can be effectively managed by either surgical or endovascular techniques.

Cardiovascular procedures: neurologic complications

Most neurologic complications of cardiovascular procedures are due to embolism, hypoperfusion, seizures, infections, metabolic disturbances, or medication side effects. Ischemic strokes, diffuse encephalopathy, and altered cognitive status are important neurologic complications of cardiac procedures. The rate of ischemic stroke in the postoperative period is as high as or even higher than intraoperatively.
