Cerebral Angiography Practices at US Teaching Hospitals Stroke 28:1895-1897, Chaturvedi,S.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Of the 200 radiology program directors who were sent the survey,97 responded.The angiographic complication rate was known in 68 of 97 medical centers and averaged 0.6%.The most common method being used for measurement of carotid stenosis is the NASCET method(70%).Forty-two of 97 program directions reported a decrease in the volume of angiography being performed.Of these 42,one-third reported that CE was commonly being performed on the basis of noninvasive tests alone.The angiographic complication rate at American teaching hospitals is within the"acceptable" range.The NASCET method of stenosis measurement is the most popular among academic radiologists.The volume of cerebral angiography appears to be decreasing.How these data compare with community hospitals without an accredited radiology residency program warrants further study.
