Embolic ischemic events have long been suspected to occur in the cerebral arteries distal to an ipsilateral occluded internal carotid artery (ICA). Documentation of microemboli by transcranial Doppler sonography during catheter angiography in patients with ICA occlusions provides objective evidence...
