Abstract:Background and Aims:
Neurological complications (NCs) are significantly associated with reduced regional cerebral saturation (rSO
2
) in patients undergoing cardiac surgeries, as assessed with cerebral oximetry (COx). However, limited evidence is available in patients undergoing balloon mitral valvotomy (BMV). Thus, we evaluated the utility of COx in patients undergoing BMV, the incidence of BMV-related NCs and the association of >20% reduction in rSO
