Cerebral Microembolism and Early Recurrent Cerebral or Retinal Ischemic Events

Abstract

In this retrospective study, microembolic signals were more common in the territories of symptomatic arteries and particularly those with severely stenotic lesions. During a short follow-up, recurrent ischemic events were more common along the territories of arteries with TCD-detected microembolism and previous symptoms of cerebral or retinal ischemia.
