Abstract:
There are very few observations on the occurrence of stroke after general surgery; the incidence lies between 0.2 and 0.7%. On the other hand, cerebrovascular accidents are mainly seen after cardiac and carotid surgery, where the incidence is high (5%). Strokes are also an important cause of morbidity and mortality following orthotopic transplantations, particularly heart, heart/lung and liver transplantations.
