No Symptomatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage after Cardiac Surgery: A 14-Year Retrospective Study

Abstract: Background: In the presence of new neurological findings occurring after cardiac surgery, the clinical question is whether to exclude symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), particularly in the context of routine postoperative anticoagulation treatment. Methods: This is a retrospective 14-year study including 5,275 patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery. The control cohort included all patients with acute cerebrovascular accidents hospitalized in 2 general hospitals in Jerusalem during a 2-month per… Show more

“…Preexisting neurological problems (seizure, history of head trauma, previous intracerebral haematoma, cerebral malformations) were found in a small percentage of cases. Intracerebral haematomas after heart surgery affect infants more frequently than adult patients (soft, less myelinated infant brain, small left atrium in congenital heart disease with pulmonary hypertension, and subsequent poor drainage of the vena cava) (18).…”
