Maxim Mokin is researching EMBOLISE, a minimally invasive treatment for brain bleeds. USF Health and Tampa General Hospital are among the first in the nation to research this treatment, which could provide more effective results than standard treatments, which often leave patients with debilitating symptoms.

“Middle meningeal arterial embolization represents a fundamentally different approach to managing this complex condition – one that shuts down abnormal blood vessels to break the vicious cycle of continued subdural hematoma growth,” said Mokin. “If it proves to be as effective as preliminary data indicates, this less invasive procedure may offer the potential for a cure.”
