AJNR Blog Reaches 50,000 Visits!
Eleven months after launching our blog we have reached over 50,000 visits. That is an average of nearly 5,000 monthly visits.

On a daily basis I look at the subjects viewed, terms searched and referral sites and have not been able to find a pattern, meaning that our audience interests vary widely. Although I am happy about these statistics, we now need our visitors to shed away their shyness and start contributing. AJNRBLOG is the “living room” of our journal and … Continue reading >>
Practical Carotid Artery Stenting
Practical Carotid Artery Stenting. Sumaira Macdonald, Gerry Stansby (Editors). Springer 2009, 208 pages, 76 illustrations, $119.00.
The safety of carotid artery stenting (CAS) remains inferior to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for treatment of symptomatic extracranial carotid artery stenosis in the immediate postoperative period. However, beyond the postoperative period, data continues to support a role for CAS in selected patients. A recently published large systematic review of 206 individual studies (54,713 total patients) undergoing CAS found the cumulative 30-day risk of stroke or death to be 7.6% in symptomatic and 3.3% in asymptomatic patients (Touze E, et al. Systematic review of the … Continue reading >>
