Background Implantation of a rotary blood pump (RBP) can cause non-physiological flow
fields in the left ventricle (LV) which may trigger thrombosis. Different inflow cannula …

The ability to distinguish harmful solid cerebral emboli from gas bubbles intra-operatively
has potential to direct interventions to reduce the risk of brain injury. In this in vitro study, two …

In this work, we present a method to discriminate between different microparticle sizes in
mixed flowing media based on laser feedback interferometry, which could ultimately form the …

Extension of transcranial Doppler embolus detection to estimation of bubble size has
historically been hindered by difficulties in applying scattering theory to the interpretation of …

First, Einstein's equation, E mc2, describes the equivalence of the rest mass of an object to a
certain amount of energy, but that energy is released only in a process wherein the mass is …

Patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy are prone to
developing emboli. These unattached masses of solid blood clots and gaseous air bubbles …

Abstract Background Microembolic signals (MESs) are direct markers of unstable large
artery atherosclerotic plaques. In a previous study, we found that the number of MESs is …

Aim: To address all the mechanisms that can lead to embolic events after cardiovascular
surgery, how to manage them and how to possibly prevent them. Material and methods: A …

La implantación de stents es una de las intervenciones más frecuentes que se aplican en
arterias que han visto reducida su sección de paso por efecto de la ateroesclerosis. Permite …

Several years ago the detection of micro-embolic signatures through Transcranial Doppler
signal monitoring has become a great interest due to the increasing number of …
