Cerebral embolism in the perioperative period in patients post invasive treatment of carotid artery stenosis. Does invasive treatment prevent cerebral embolism?
CONCLUSIONS: 1. Microembolic signals in the middle cerebral artery detected with the use of transcranial ultrasound examination in the early period after carotid revascularization of the internal carotid artery are usually asymptomatic. 2. Cerebral embolism in the early period after carotid revascularization is more frequently found inpatients with symptomatic carotid artery stenosis subjected to a repair procedure. 3. The clinical significance of cerebral emboli found after carotid revascularization requires further research. PMID: 24846363 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cerebral microembolism in patients with segmental left ventricular wall motion abnormalities.
CONCLUSIONS: Embolic signals in the middle cerebral artery in patients with segmental left ventricular hypokinesis have to be considered as a risk factor of stroke. The following changes are observed in patients with cardiogenic stroke: hypokinetic intraventricular septum, high intensity embolic signals, increased serum fibrinogen levels and leucocyte count. It may indicate the importance of these factors in the aetiology of stroke. PMID: 24821634 [PubMed - in process]
