Clinical signifcance and molecular characteristics of circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor
microemboli in patients with small-cell lung cancer.
However, surgery can increase the risk of metastasis by spreading tumor
microemboli and increasing expression of pro-angiogenic factors that aid in tumor growth such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (3, 4).
[9] The diabetic individuals were not only susceptible for wider area of infarction, but also to microinfarction from repeated, multiple
microemboli from a friable coronary artery thrombus.
Therefore, catheter ablation reduced the progression of dementia in AF patients, and the need to reduce
microemboli during ablation is significant.
(8) Postmortem examination revealed innumerable carcinomatous
microemboli massively showering pulmonary capillaries as the cause of severe pulmonary hypertension.
The impact of
microemboli during cardiopulmonary bypass on neuropsychological functioning.
Successive endovascular seeding of the PA lumen from multiple emboli or
microemboli has been proposed as the pathogenesis of PAPAs in the infectious setting [5].
In addition, TCD can also be used to detect
microemboli [43].

microemboli during orthopedic surgery," American Journal of Neuroradiology, vol.

microemboli and secondary stenoses," Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, vol.
He may have had small
microemboli in place causing his low oxygen saturation before surgery.
CES is usually characterized by showers of
microemboli occurring over a period of time [19].
