Two recent articles were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine about management of neurovascular diseases.
The first one is about a randomized study assessing senting versus surgery for the treatment of asymptomatic carotid stenosis, showing equivalent efficacy for both techniques in patients who were not at high risk for surgical complications.
The second one demonstrates the efficacy of pioglitazone in patients who present with stroke or TIA and who have insuln resistance without diabetes.
