All had cardiovascular risk factors; 85% were on antithrombotic therapy. Branch retinal artery occlusion was most common (69.2%), followed by paracentral acute middle maculopathy (23.1%) and central retinal artery occlusion (7.7%). Symptom onset ranged from immediately post-procedure to 28 days, with varying clinical characteristics across different timeframes. Neuroimaging revealed cerebral ischemia in 7 of 10 patients (70%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retinal ischemic events following cardiovascular procedures presented across a spectrum of timing, with varying clinical features that may suggest different pathophysiological mechanisms such as procedural embolization, perioperative hypoperfusion, or delayed complications from evolving embolic sources.The high rate of concurrent cerebral ischemia supports prompt brain imaging.
