Abstract
Postoperative stroke is a rare but feared complication after cardiac surgery. The clinical presentation and the evolution of postoperative stroke associated with bypass surgery are extremely heterogeneous and depend on multiple factors, which are not always easy to identify. Computed tomography scan parameters like visual rating scales,inparticular, the age-related white matter changes and Mendes Ribero visual rating scale scores, could be used to predict postoperative stroke reconvalescence. Being reproducible and quickly appliable in everyday clinical practice, their implementation results are easy. Further studies are still required to validate these scores, to identify a "cut-off" value for highly likely or unlikely neurological recovery.
