Fig 1 (A) Showers of microembolic signals (MESs) in the internal carotid artery. Each yellow high-intensity signal (red arrow) represents a miroembolus. (B) Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) scan shows showers of MESs in the left posterior cerebral artery (red arrow). Compare these (A, B) scans to (C) the TCD scan without MESs after oxygenator exchange.
