There is considerable utility in the use of transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) to assess
cerebrovascular function. The brain is unique in its high energy and oxygen demand but …

Transcranial Doppler (TCD) is a noninvasive ultrasound (US) study used to measure
cerebral blood flow velocity (CBF‐V) in the major intracranial arteries. It involves use of low …

Background Few randomised clinical trials have investigated the use of antithrombotic drugs
for early secondary prevention of stroke or transient ischaemic attack in patients with …

Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Recombinant tissue
plasminogen activator (rtPA) was approved a decade ago for the treatment of acute ischemic …

Objective: To review the use of transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) and transcranial
color-coded sonography (TCCS) for diagnosis. Methods: The authors searched the literature …

Hemodynamic changes in the brain are often used as surrogates of neuronal activity to infer
the loci of brain activity. A major limitation of conventional Doppler ultrasound for the …

Objective To assess the effect of more intensive medical therapy on the rate of transcranial
Doppler (TCD) microemboli and cardiovascular events in patients with asymptomatic carotid …

Gas embolism is a known complication of various invasive procedures, and its management
is well established. The consequence of gas microemboli, microbubbles, is …

Background Thrombo-inflammation is an important checkpoint that orchestrates infarct
development in ischemic stroke. However, the underlying mechanism remains largely …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to compare the rate of cerebral microembolization
during carotid artery stenting (CAS) with proximal versus distal cerebral protection in …
