Transcranial Doppler in the Evaluation of Internal Carotid Artery Dissection
Stroke 27:1226-1230, Srinivasan,J.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We have demonstrated a high incidence of intracranial microemboli in the MCA distal to carotid dissections and a significant correlation between the presence of emboli and stroke.TCD can therefore be used as an adjunctive tool to manage patients with suspected carotid dissection and may prove useful in evaluating the efficacy of treatment in reducing microemboli and subsequent stroke.
