TCD provides noninvasive monitoring in diverse clinical situations, offering real-time physiological data without increasing patient risks or costs. ...
If the coronavirus causes vascular inflammation (vasculitis), the inflammatory reaction leads to vascular narrowing with relevant cerebral blood flow velocities (CBFV) changes. An intracranial routine examination can assist in diagnosis of vasculitis by following proximal cerebral vascular abnormalities. ...
Carotid stenosis can remain asymptomatic for a long time. TCD examinations benefit to find patients suffering from asymptomatic carotid stenosis and allow prediction of stroke risk....
Since intraoperative strokes are predominantly caused by embolism instead of inefficient hemodynamic circulation, the occurrence of embolic signals may lead to a change of surgical treatment and thereby help to reduce the risk of intraoperative stroke. Emboli detection becomes particularly relevant in vascular surgery, when...
Because of missing collateralisation beyond the Circle of Willis, occlusions of cerebral arteries result in hypoperfusion or according to size and localisation of the embolus in stroke. Emboli detection is an adequate technical method to narrow the probability of embolic aetiology of stroke....
