Risk factors for postoperative cerebral infarction in patients after lung resection: a single-center case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients who undergo lung resection are at risk of postoperative cerebral infarction, but the risk factors remain unclear, so the present study was a comprehensive investigation in patients who underwent lung resection for pulmonary nodules.

Methods

The clinical characteristics of patients with postoperative cerebral infarction and patients who underwent lung resection on the same day but did not develop cerebral infarction were retrospectively compared.
