Red face How do you pick a Doctor to do a brain stent placement?
I have been referred to seeing a Neuroradiology Doctor, (University Radiology) at U.T. Medical Center in Knoxville, TN, that wants to place a stent in my growing brain aneurysm, but I am wondering how I can research his success rate on doing a brain aneurysm stent placement. How can I find out what other patients have been to him and what their outcome was with this particular Doctor? How do I find out his success rate and how do I choose the most experienced Doctor to do the procedure?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

If you get the doctors name, you can do a web search on it.
