Transhemispheric Passage of Microemboli in Patients with Unilateral Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion Stroke 24:1664-1666, Georgiadis,D.,et al, 1993 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Transhemispheric passage of embolic material occurs in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery occlusion and contralateral stenosis.
