Microembolic Signals Predict Recurrence of Ischemic Events in Symptomatic Patients with Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis

Middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis is a common cause of ischemic stroke in Asian populations. We sought to determine whether microembolic signals (MESs) can predict the occurrence or recurrence of ischemia in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with MCA stenosis. The symptomatic group had a significantly higher incidence of MES (30% vs. 16.2%, p
