Silent cerebral ischemia detected by magnetic resonance imaging can predict postoperative delirium after total arch replacement for aneurysm.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify whether preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings of the brain can predict postoperative delirium in patients who undergo arch replacement for aneurysms.

Methods

Overall, 193 patients who underwent aortic replacement for the first time at a single institution between April 2014 and September 2020 were enrolled in this retrospective study. After we excluded patients with acute aortic dissection, no preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings of the brain, and postoperative cerebral infarction, 50 patients were included and divided into 2 groups, according to their confusion scale results: postoperative delirium (group D) and nonpostoperative delirium (group ND). Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging findings of the brain were classified int
