Dr. Rosenwasser and His Brain Stent Method Featured in Philadelphia Inquirer

For people who get a stroke from clogged arteries, Dr. Robert Rosenwasser's approach is to treat the arteries from within rather than using drugs or performing open-brain surgery. He does this by using a tiny stent to prop open the blockage.

Dr. Rosenwasser and his experimental brain stent method was featured in the June 13, 2010 edition of the Philadelphia Inquirer. The article references Dr. Rosenwasser's patient Leonard Majeski, 64, who was the first of 28 patients to receive this type of stent.
