title: Embolization in atherosclerosis.
abstract: Much has been learned about microembolization in the last two decades. The promising blood markers for brain injury will further enhance our future understanding of microembolic events. New surgical techniques, drugs, and devices have substantially reduced microembolization during carotid angioplasty, CEA, and CABG.
