    "[Second Thoughts on Capitalism and the State is a] profoundly reflective book shows a pathway forward for academics and activists alike who are stymied by the disconnect between deep critical scholarship and emancipatory social change, yet who will still not give up the good fight."

    - Professor Diane E. Davis, Harvard University

The Dark Side of Neuro-Intervention

Neuro-intervention is widely believed to be one of medicine’s most exciting specialties, given that it is growing, dynamic and often rewarding in countless ways to both practitioners and patients. However, it can be a source of misfortune to recipients and its providers alike, in more ways than many of us realize or care to admit. This book shows that some problems associated with the field are not solely a product of outlying circumstances or individuals, but are, rather, systemic, insidious and ubiquitous issues affecting research, education, and publications.


Riyadh Alokaili is Consultant of Neuro-Intervention and NeuroRadiology at the Department of Radiology of King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, and at the Royal Clinics, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He focuses on therapies for brain arteriovenous malformations, head, and neck vascular anomalies, intracranial aneurysms, and stroke. He has also treated unusual rare conditions endovascularly, including the first-ever successful deconstructing of vascular bridges in craniopagus conjoined twins. He received his residency training at the Medical University of South Carolina, before continuing his subspecialty fellowship training at the University of Pennsylvania.

"This is a very good book well written and meets a major requirement which is the in depth study and root analysis of neuro-intervention practical errors and complications in order to avoid them, as much as humanly possible. This will lead to improvement in the outcomes of such cases and allow us to reach higher levels of patient’s safety. This book should be read by neurosurgeons, neurologists and neuro-interventionists."
