Abstract
In patients with DeBakey left ventricular assist devices, a high load of clinically silent microemboli can be detected within the cerebral arteries despite a low incidence of embolic complications. It needs to be investigated whether such continuous, presumably gaseous microembolization causes cognitive or neuropsychologic deficits.
