AbstractThe Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry reported that 1,091 patients( 5.8%) had cerebrovascular diseases as comorbidities in "A report from the Japanese Joint Committee of Lung Cancer Registry;a study of 18,973 surgical cases in 2010;secondary publication". They reported that 24 patients caused cerebral hemorrhage or cerebral infarction within 30 days after surgery. Since the elderly patient surgery is increasing, the incidence their perioperative stroke is increasing too, often leading to severe conditions. It is necessary to evaluate the risk factors and history of cerebrovascular disease prior to surgery. As most perioperative strokes occur within 3 days after surgery, and the recurrence rate is higher in patients with a history of cerebrovascular diseases, systematic perioperative management should be treated to prevent recurrence in the perioperative period. If patient taking antithrombotic drugs undergo surgery, it is necessary to be informed of the risks such as intraoperative stroke associated with pausing and resuming antithrombotic drugs. Patient with cerebrovascular disease must be diagnosed accurately and promptly, as cerebrovascular disease involves the conditions of ischemia and hemorrhage.
