Cautions
Agents to avoid if possible, always discuss with your physician:
- Cerebral angiography and anticoagulants may provoke cerebrovascular accidents
- Smoking and hypertension may increases the risk of stroke
- Thrombolytic therapy (intravenous thrombolysis) is contraindicated because of the presumed increased risk for cerebral hemorrhage
Anesthesia awareness
Be sure and share your CADASIL diagnosis with your surgical care team. It is important for CADASIL patients under analgesia to maintain hemodynamic stability leading to adequate cerebral perfusion. This is key to avoid an increase in the effects of the chronic arteriopathy patients with CADASIL sustain.
