More than 800 thousand myocardial revascularization operations are performed annually in the world. Among the most common complications of such operations are neurological disorders, including encephalopathy and stroke. Data on the incidence of these complications are given in the materials of many observational studies, although the exact magnitude of the risk is still unknown.
