“…Embolic phenomena have been detected by TEE during medullary reaming of long bones [8,36,47], and hip and knee arthroplasty [7,8,14,40,43]. The cascades and echogenic masses are bigger at the time of cementing and after reduction [14].…”

“…We have previously shown, using transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE), that intracavitary embolism occurs in the right atrium with two distinct patterns: a`smoke' appearing during reaming of the femoral canal, and well defined echodense masses during cementing [40]. However, no haemodynamic or biochemical changes were found in any patients during operations.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
