Subclinical brain damage due to microembolization could occur during catheter ablation procedures. We evaluated the microembolic signals (MESs) detected by transcranial Doppler during ablation of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) or idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) with the use of different approaches.
