Abstract
To determine whether the presence or absence of left ventricular (LV) intracavitary microbubbles during cardiac surgery predicts neurologic sequelae, 82 patients undergoing cardiac surgery were studied using transesophageal 2-dimensional (2-D) echo-cardiography. Cross-sectional images were recorded just before and immediately after cardio-pulmonary bypass and stop frames were reviewed for the presence of microbubbles, rated as: 0 = absent, 1 = fewer than 5/frame, 2 = 10 to 25/frame, 3 = too numerous to count. Microbubbles were detected after cardiopulmonary bypass in 34 patients (41%) and found more often in valvular or other intracardiac manipulations than in coronary revascularization, 30 of 40 vs 4 of 42, respectively (p
