Potential relevance of low-intensity microembolic signals by TCD monitoring

The significance of low-intensity microembolic signals (MES), as well as their relationship with high-intensity MES, has not yet been studied. We monitored MES by TCD in 256 arteries of 229 patients with carotid stenosis. All microemboli were detected automatically without a preliminary set threshol...

Zusammenfassung:The significance of low-intensity microembolic signals (MES), as well as their relationship with high-intensity MES, has not yet been studied. We monitored MES by TCD in 256 arteries of 229 patients with carotid stenosis. All microemboli were detected automatically without a preliminary set threshold. For those 110 patients who evidenced any emboli, the correlation between the number of high- and low-intensity MES was r  = 0.50, p
