- Endarterectomy, Stenting, or Medical Treatment for Symptomatic Carotid Near-Occlusion: Results from CAOS, a Multicenter Registry Study
Carotid artery stent placement and carotid endarterectomy are associated with high rates of failure and periprocedural stroke. Carotid near-occlusion with full collapse appears to be associated with an increased risk of technical failure and restenosis. Carotid near-occlusion revascularization does not seem to reduce the risk of stroke at follow-up compared with medical treatment.
- Diagnostic Accuracy of MRI for Detection of Meningitis in Infants
MR imaging of the brain demonstrates high specificity and moderate sensitivity for diagnosis among infants presenting with signs and symptoms of meningitis.
- Diagnostic Errors in Cerebrovascular Pathology: Retrospective Analysis of a Neuroradiology Database at a Large Tertiary Academic Medical Center
Most cerebrovascular diagnostic errors were perceptual and clinically significant, occurred in the emergency/inpatient setting, and were associated with higher-volume shifts. Diagnostic errors could be minimized by adjusting search patterns to ensure vigilance on the sites of the frequently missed pathologies.
