Abstract
The definitions of commonly used terms are given in Table 1 (1–8). Stroke has been simply defined as any form of cerebral infarction (2), which includes those attributable to hemorrhage. The latter group is more likely to occur as a complication of specific surgical procedures (e.g., carotid endarterectomy) or the use of anticoagulants and is otherwise rare in the perioperative period (3). Hence, much of the information in this review pertains to ischemic cerebral events.
