Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients at urgent need for cardiac surgery coexisting with increased-stroke-risk carotid stenosis, any staged intervention increases the risk of complications from the primarily unaddressed pathology. In this challenging cohort, we assessed safety and feasibility of endovascular carotid revascularization under open-chest extracorporeal circulation (ECC) combined with cardiac surgery (hybrid-room true simultaneous treatment). METHODS Per-protocol (PP), after general anesthesia induction, chest-opening and ECC stand-by installation, carotid stenting (CAS) was performed (femoral/radial or direct carotid access) with ad-hoc/on-hand switch to ECC cardiac surgery. RESULTS Over 78 months, 60 patients (70.7±6.9years, 85% male, all American Society of Anesthesiology grade IV) were enrolled. All were at increased carotid-related stroke risk (ipsilateral recent stroke/transient ischemick attack, asymptomatic cerebral infarct, increased-risk lesion morphology, bilateral severe stenosis). Majority of study procedures involved CAS+coronary bypass surgery or CAS+valve replacement±coronary bypass. 45 (75%) patients were PP- and 15 (25%) not-PP (NPP-) managed (context therapy). CAS was 100% neuroprotected (transient flow reversal-64.4%, filters-35.6%) and employed micronet-covered plaque-sequestrating stents with routine post-dilatation optimization/embedding. 4 deaths (6.7%) and 7 strokes (11.7%) occurred by 30-days. Despite CAS+surgery performed on aspirin and unfractionated heparin-only (delayed clopidogrel-loading), no thrombosis occurred in the stented arteries, and 30-days stent patency was 100%. NPP-management significantly increased the risk of death/ipsilateral stroke (OR 38.5; P<0.001) and death/any stroke (OR 12.3; P=0.002) by 30-days. CONCLUSIONS In cardiac unstable patients at increased carotid-related stroke risk who require urgent cardiac surgery, simultaneous cardiac surgery and CAS with micronet-covered stent lesion sequestration is feasible and safe and shows efficacy in minimizing stroke risk. Larger-scale, multicentric evaluation is warranted. (SIMGUARD NCT04973579).

J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2023:S1053-0770(23)00341-5. [PMID: 37321874 DOI: 10.1053/j.jvca.2023.05.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 05/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Neurologic complications after surgery (stroke, delirium) remain a major concern despite advancements in surgical and anesthetic techniques. The authors aimed to evaluate whether a novel index of interhemispheric similarity, the lateral interconnection ratio (LIR), between 2 prefrontal electroencephalogram (EEG) channels could be associated with stroke and delirium following cardiac surgery. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Single university hospital. PARTICIPANTS A total of 803 adult patients without documentation of a previous stroke, who underwent cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) between July 2016 and January 2018. INTERVENTIONS The LIR index was calculated retrospectively from the patients' EEG database. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS LIR was analyzed intraoperatively every 10 seconds and compared among patients with postoperative stroke, patients with delirium, and patients without documented neurologic complications, during 5 key periods, each lasting10 minutes: (1) surgery start, (2) before CPB, (3) on CPB, (4) after CPB, and (5) surgery end. After cardiac surgery, 31 patients suffered from stroke; 48 patients were diagnosed with delirium; and 724 had no documented neurologic complications. Patients with stroke demonstrated a decrease in LIR index between the start of surgery and the postbypass period of 0.08 (0.01, 0.36 [21]; median and [interquartile range {IQR}]; valid EEG samples); whereas there was no similar decrease in the no-dysfunction group (-0.04 [-0.13, 0.04; {551}], p < 0.0001). Patients with delirium showed a decrease in LIR index between the start of surgery and the end of the surgery by 0.15 (0.02, 0.30 [12]), compared with no such decrease in the no-dysfunction group (-0.02 [-0.12, 0.08 {376}], p ≈ 0.001). CONCLUSIONS After improvement of SNR, it might be of value to further study the index decrease as an indication for risk for brain injury after surgery. The timing of decrease (after CPB or end of surgery) may provide hints regarding the injury pathophysiology and its onset.

Abstract
The frequency of perioperative stroke in cardiosurgical practice may reach up to 10%. The risk of stroke is especially high after coronary artery bypass surgery and valve replacement. Perioperative stroke is related to embolism with the fragments of atherosclerotic plaque, arterial hypotension, cardiac arrhythmias, hypercoagulation, etc. The likelihood of stroke can be reduced by preoperative assessment of the patient. It is important to control blood pressure and saturation during the surgery. The manipulation on aorta should be minimized in order to reduce the risk of perioperative stroke. Important role belongs to timely identification of those who developed stroke after surgery. The only possible method of reperfusion therapy in perioperative stroke is mechanical thrombectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review overviews perioperative stroke as it pertains to specific surgical procedures. RECENT FINDINGS As awareness of perioperative stroke increases, so does the opportunity to potentially improve outcomes for these patients by early stroke recognition and intervention. Perioperative stroke is defined to be any stroke that occurs within 30 days of the initial surgical procedure. The incidence of perioperative stroke varies and is dependent on the specific type of surgery performed. This chapter overviews the risks, mechanisms, and acute evaluation and management of perioperative stroke in four surgical populations: cardiac surgery, carotid endarterectomy, neurosurgery, and non-cardiac/non-carotid/non-neurological surgeries.
