Abstract:
Transcranial Doppler detection of microembolic signals has been described in several clinical conditions such as carotid stenosis, prosthetic heart valves, acute stroke, and carotid surgery. The importance of these events for clinical decision-making is still a matter of debate. The authors review the literature and report their personal experience on the clinical significance of microemboli detection.
