Opis

In 1953, with the introduction of Extracorporeal Circulation (ECC), which makes it possible to stop cardiac activity and thus be able to operate on the heart, cardiac surgery really began. The following year, the first cases of neurological complications related to this surgery were described. In the 60's, the bases of the current surgical treatment were laid and in 1981 this type of surgery began in Cuba. However, in spite of the progress achieved, several complications may appear both in the transoperative period and during the immediate postoperative period, derived from the surgical procedure, iatrogenic and other factors (1).
