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. Endarterectomy of the stenosed internal carotid artery may eliminate the detected embolic signals in both hemispheres.Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography could be used as a diagnostic tool to identify the embolic source in patients with unilateral carotid occlusion.
