AB Perioperative  stroke  is  a  devastating  complication  associated  with  significant  morbidity  and  mortality  ranging  from  20%  to  60%.  Approximately  50%  of  perioperative  strokes  occur  within  postoperative  days  1–3,  with  a  significant  proportion  of  these  occurring  intraoperatively.  Most  perioperative  strokes  are  ischemic,  primarily  embolic  after  cardiac  and  carotid  surgeries,  and  embolic  or  thrombotic  after  noncardiac  surgeries.  Hemorrhagic  strokes  comprise  only  1–4%  of  all  perioperative  strokes.
