Cocaine is a systemic vasoconstrictor, which means it can significantly increase one's blood pressure. Also, it can affect the heart, making it prone to arrythmia or cardiac arrest. It is very unsafe to have cocaine in the system while a patient is having any type of surgery, because it increases the operative risk (of bleeding, of a heart attack, or a stroke, of death).
