The research interests of David F. Kallmes, M.D., center on advancing the minimally invasive treatment options for patients with intracranial saccular aneurysms. Dr. Kallmes' preclinical laboratory is developing and testing multiple improvements to the microcoil technology used to treat this condition. His team is also involved in multiple clinical trials of aneurysm treatments, including the use of modified coils, as well as magnetic resonance imaging of aneurysms after treatment. An additional area of focus is osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Dr. Kallmes' research in this area is funded by the National Institutes of Health and complements his clinical practice.
