Mortality and physical impairment in patients undergoing cardiac surgery are to a large extent due to cerebro-vascular complications that are second in frequency only to cardiopulmonary incidents. In spite of the extracorporeal circulatory support as well as progress in cardiac surgery that have improved the perioperative conditions, neurologic complications mainly of embolic nature are still common after extracorporeal circulatory assistance.
接受心脏手术的患者出现死亡和身体损伤，在很大程度上是由于脑血管并发症，其发生频率仅次于心肺事件。尽管体外循环支持以及心脏手术的进展改善了围手术期状况，但体外循环辅助后主要由栓塞性质引起的神经并发症仍然很常见。
