Neurologic complications associated with cardiac surgery can involve just about any part of the peripheral and central nervous systems. Yet varying degrees of neurologic decline have been linked to multiple kinds of surgery, not just heart procedures.

Dr. Jose Biller, professor of neurology and neurological surgery at the Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and chair of neurology at Loyola University Health System, probes this question and more with host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
