Dr. Shimon Maimon

The past decade has witnessed an exponential growth in the scope of diseases amenable to neuro-endovascular intervention and treatment.
A new Neuro-radiology Interventional Service initiated in the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center last year is headed by Dr. Shimon Maimon, one of Israel's top imaging physicians and a world leader in this field. Imaging, diagnosis and treatment of patients with a pathology of cranial (head and neck) blood vessels is performed by this service, which offers treatment to patients who suffer from Brain Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and Fistula (malformed pathways between blood vessels); the narrowing of blood vessels in the skull, neck and in the brain; brain aneurysms (where blood vessels in the brain area become locally dilated); intra-cranial tumors and various spinal cord diseases. The service offers a comprehensive approach applying advanced techniques such as the insertion of coated stents into the brain's most delicate arteries, with the ultimate goal of preventing the need for surgical intervention.
