Solid Cerebral Microemboli and Cerebrovascular Symptoms in Patients With Prosthetic Heart Valves Stroke 39:1159-1164, Skjelland,M.,et al, 2008 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Solid cerebral microemboli were detected by multifrequency transcranial Doppler ultrasonography in 35% of a mechanical heart valve population, and the frequency was higher in patients who experienced cerebrovascular events during the first year after valve replacement. The results suggest that the detection of solid cerebral microemboli may be helpful in predicting the risk of ischemic stroke in mechanical heart valve patients.
