Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is the only noninvasive real-time neuroimaging
modality for the evaluation of characteristics of blood flow in basal intracerebral vessels that …

Right-to-left shunt, mainly due to patent foramen ovale (PFO), is likely responsible for≈ 5%
of all ischemic strokes and 10% of those occurring in young and middle-aged adults …

Background and Purpose—Evaluation of posterior circulation with single-gate transcranial
Doppler (TCD) is technically challenging and yields lower accuracy parameters in …

Background and Purpose—Cerebral microembolism detected by transcranial Doppler
occurs systematically during cardiac catheterization, but its clinical relevance remains …

Abstract Aim of Study: To characterize the cerebral embolic exposure during transfemoral
(TF) and transapical (TA) TAVR. Methods: To detect cerebral embolic events during TAVR …

Objectives To assess the incidence of silent cerebral embolization when using the
transradial approach for diagnostic coronary angiography (DCA). Background Compared to …

Background and Purpose—Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) has a higher incidence
of periprocedural stroke compared with endarterectomy. Identifying CAS steps with the …

There is a risk of gaseous and solid micro-embolus formation during transcatheter cardiac
interventions and surgery in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Our aim was to …

Background Recent studies have shown that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is
associated with new foci of restricted diffusion on cerebral magnetic resonance imaging …

The purpose of the present study was to assess clinical outcomes and closure status after
the transcatheter closure of patent foramen ovale. Two hundred thirty-seven consecutive …
