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

A history of cerebral infarction, APTT <26.5 s, BMI ≥24.0 kg/m, and surgical method were independent risk factors for cerebral infarction after lung resection. Strengthening thromboprophylaxis in patients with these risk factors may help to reduce the incidence of postoperative cerebral infarction.
