Shahram Majidi, MD, is an Associate Professor of Neurosurgery, Neurology, and Radiology at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Co-Director of the Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship at Mount Sinai Health System. A pioneer in the field of neuroendovascular surgery, Dr. Majidi performed the first endovascular brain-computer interface (BCI) implantation in the United States in July 2022.
At Mount Sinai's Cerebrovascular Center, Dr. Majidi specializes in the endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular disorders including ischemic stroke, subdural hemorrhage, intracranial atherosclerosis, carotid stenosis, brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations of the brain and spine, minimally invasive spine interventions, and pulsatile tinnitus.
Dr. Majidi earned his medical degree from Tehran University of Medical Sciences. He subsequently completed a cerebrovascular research fewllowship at University of Minnesota, followed by a Neurology residency at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where served as Chief Resident at George Washington University Hospital. Dr. Majidi completed a clinical fellowship in Cerebrovascular Disorders and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland. Afterwards, he moved to New York City where he completed a neuroendovascular surgery fellowship in the Department of Neurosurgery at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
An active member of the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS), Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN), and the American Heart Association (AHA), Dr. Majidi has received multiple research grants and awards from these organizations. His research focuses on endovascular BCI and neuromodulation, stroke thrombectomy techniques, and advanced imaging for brain aneurysms and intracerebral hemorrhage.

Patient Experience Star Ratings and Comments
The Patient Experience Star Rating reflects our patients’ perception of how well their Mount Sinai provider communicated with them during an office visit. The Star Rating is based on patient responses to three questions on a patient experience survey, a standardized questionnaire sent to verified patients and distributed by a third party vendor, Press Ganey. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Majidi has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
