Microembolic signals detected by transcranial Doppler sonography during carotid endarterectomy and correlation with serial diffusion-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Embolic events are a major cause for procedure-related strokes after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Transcranial Doppler sonography can reveal embolic events as microembolic signals (MES) during CEA. MES during declamping and shunting are frequently detected. MES during shunting are rare and known to be correlated with the neurological outcome of the patient. In the presen...
متن کاملIschemia after carotid endarterectomy: comparison between transcranial Doppler sonography and diffusion-weighted MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyperintense signals on diffusion-weighted MR images (DWIs) are believed to correspond accurately with cerebral ischemic events. Intraoperative transcranial Doppler sonography (TCD) can reveal hemodynamic and embolic events during carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Our purpose was to determine whether the occurrence of hyperintense signals on postoperative DWIs corresponds to ...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler: preventing stroke during carotid endarterectomy.
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is more effective at preventing strokes than medical therapy alone in those patients with severe symptomatic stenosis of the internal carotid artery and this benefit persists despite a perioperative stroke/death rate of approximately 5%. Thromboembolism has been established as the underlying cause of the majority of perioperative strokes, but this could not be detec...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler detected cerebral microembolism following carotid endarterectomy.
Cerebral ischaemia, the most frequent serious complication of carotid endarterectomy (CEA), usually occurs in the early postoperative period and is often the result of thromboembolism. We hypothesized that the early postoperative detection of microembolic ultrasonic signals (MES) with transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) may be of value in identifying patients at risk of postoperative cerebral...
متن کاملMicroembolic Signals Detected with Transcranial Doppler Sonography Differ between Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Middle Cerebral Artery Stenoses in Northeast China
Although microembolus monitoring has been widely used for ischemic cerebrovascular disease, the clinical significance of microembolic signal (MES) in asymptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis remains unclear. We aim to investigate the frequency of MES and the value of MES in predicting ischemic stroke secondary to asymptomatic MCA stenosis. From June 2011 to December 2012, microembolus...
