In preceding studies, we reported that abnormal Doppler signals of high intensity (HITS) were frequently found in the cerebral arteries of patients with prosthetic mechanical heart valves. These signals should be attributed either to air microbubbles, possibly due to cavitations or to solid emboli elements. On the other hand, the presence of abnormal intracardiac echoes has been reported in patients with mechanical valves. These echoes should be also attributed to air microbubbles or to formed elements. Although in vitro experiments are in favor of the first explanation, the discussion of their origin remains open.
