Background: Cerebral complications of coronary catheterizations are transient ischemic attack (TIA) and stroke. Silent stroke (SCI) does not cause acute neurological dysfunction. It might cause many disorders including dementia. Sonolysis is therapeutic method. Sonolysis should be the method for reducing the risk of symptomatic and asymptomatic brain ischemic lesions in patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty or stenting. Aims: To analyse patients with cardiac disease indicated for elective coronary catheterization: 1) Assess the incidence of acute/subacute SCI on brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging; 2) Investigate factors influencing the frequency and type of microembolic signals (MES) detected using transcranial Doppler (TCD) in patients undergoing elective coronary intervention, and to correlate the frequency and type of MES with detection of new brain ischemic lesions using MR. Examine changes in cognitive function at 30 days post procedure in relation to pretreatment scores; 3) Test the clinical efficacy and safety of perioperative sonolysis in patients undergoing elective coronary catheterization. Methods: 1) 144 patients were enrolled to the study. Brain MR was performed before cardiac intervention. The presence of acute and subacute SCI was evaluated, SCI volume was measured and risk...
