Review article: The role of hypotension in perioperative stroke
2013
Purpose
A stroke is an uncommon but potentially devastating complication after surgery. Although hypoperfusion is often mentioned as a possible cause of a perioperative stroke, a thorough investigation is needed into the role of intraoperative and/or postoperative hypotension in the occurrence and development of perioperative cerebral ischemia. In this review article, we present an overview of the available literature on the possible role of hypotension in perioperative stroke, and we place these studies in a broader context.
