Silent and Apparent Cerebral Embolism After Retrograde Catheterisation of the Aortic Valve in Valvular Stenosis: A Prospective, Randomised Study
Lancet 361:1241-1246, Omran,H.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Patients with valvular aortic stenosis who undergo retrograde catheterization of the aortic valve have a substantial risk of clinically apparent cerebral embolism, and frequently have silent ischaemic brain lesions. Patients should be informed about these risks, and this procedure should be used only in patients with unclear echocardiographical findings when additional information is necessary for clinical management.
