Mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke after cardiac surgery or intervention: a retrospective cohort analysis
Thrombectomy for LVO stroke was conducted in a small subset of patients after cardiac surgery/intervention. A large proportion of these strokes were detected in a wake-up constellation. Early detection, optimized acute neurological workup, and rapid thrombectomy may result in good functional outcomes. The establishment of a standardized diagnostic and treatment algorithm seems advisable for the optimization of acute stroke treatment in large heart centers.
