Abstract

Background: Cardio-cerebral infarction (CCI) is a rare syndrome characterized by acute ischemic stroke (AIS) occurring shortly after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Currently, there are no evidence-based guidelines for perioperative anesthesia management in patients with CCI. Case summary: A 58-year-old male underwent coronary stent implantation for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) 4 days prior and was admitted for emergency mechanical thrombectomy due to occlusion of the right middle cerebral artery. Preoperative transthoracic echocardiography revealed left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction
