Maxim Mokin has led USF Health in being the first to treat a patient in a clinical trial for a novel stroke treatment at Tampa General Hospital. The study is evaluating whether a larger type of catheter removes blood clots in the brain more quickly, improving outcomes for stroke patients.
"This is a paradigm shift in how strokes are being treated," said Mokin. "We believe this catheter will allow us to restore blood flow to brain vessels faster, with fewer attempts and shorter procedure time. The catheter tip has a unique design to effectively trap and engage into the clot.”
