Transcranial Doppler detection of microemboli in prosthetic heart valve patients: dependency upon valve type.
Dimitrios Georgiadis,M. Kaps,J. Berg,Tom G. Mackay,Dapper F,Faichney A,David J. Wheatley,Kennedy R. Lees +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence and quantity of microEmboli signals in patients with prosthetic heart valves, as detected by transcranial Doppler, is dependent upon valve type, and the clinical significance of these microemboli signals remains to be further evaluated.

Donald G. Grosset,Dimitrios Georgiadis,Andrew W. Kelman,Philip Cowburn,Sarah Stirling,Kennedy R. Lees,Faichney A,Annette Mallinson,R.O. Quin,Ian Bone,Laura E.L. Pettigrew,Eric E. Brodie,Tom G. Mackay,David J. Wheatley +13 more
TL;DR: Comparative studies of Doppler emboli signals in other clinical settings suggest a difference in composition or size of the underlying maternal between prosthetic valve patients and patients with carotid stenosis, and suggest that the signals are of gaseous origin in valve patients.

Subclinical embolism in patients undergoing cardiac valve implantation and coronary artery bypass surgery
Donald G. Grosset,Dimitrios Georgiadis,Stirling S,Philip Cowburn,Andrew W. Kelman,Faichney A,Kennedy R. Lees +6 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that prosthetic valves cause continuing microembolisation, detectable by transcranial Doppler; coronary artery bypass cases may have incidental embolic signals which are unaffected by cardiac surgery.

- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: Between November 1992 and September 1996, 287 ATS bileaflet valves were implanted in 252 patients in the Western Infirmary, Glasgow; these were unselected patients admitted for mechanical valve replacement.
Prevalence and characteristics of intracranial microemboli signals in patients with different types of prosthetic cardiac valves.
TL;DR: The data showed that the prevalence, quantity, and acoustic characteristics of Doppler embolic signals differ in patients having three different types of prosthetic heart valves, however, no correlation with clinical parameters was identified.
