Dr. Alexander Coon is one of the world's leading vascular neurosurgeons. He serves as the Director of Endovascular and Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery at the Carondelet Neurological Institute of St. Joseph's and St. Mary's Hospitals in Tucson, Arizona. Dr. Coon spent 15 years at The Johns Hopkins University Hospital where he founded the Endovascular Neurosurgery service and lead its growth into one of the largest in the nation. During this time, he served as the Director of Endovascular Neurosurgery for all of Johns Hopkins Medicine and held academic appointments within the Departments of Neurosurgery, Radiology, and Neurology.

Most known for his expertise in the use of flow-diverting stents (Pipeline and Surpass) and intra-saccular flow disrupters (WEB) for the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms, Dr. Coon has performed or proctored over 1500 cases of cerebral aneurysm surgery. He has mentored hundreds of physicians in the use of these technologies across the United States and around the world. Coon is a prolific academic who has authored >200 peer-reviewed publications in the field of vascular neurosurgery. He has lectured on 5 different continents having given over 150 national/international speeches and presentations. He has participated and demonstrated leadership in numerous multi-center FDA clinical device trials and serves on the global steering committee for the upcoming EVOLVE (Surpass) trial.
