Jay Shah

Jay Shah, MD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at the University of California Irvine School of Medicine. His clinical and research work focuses on cerebrovascular diseases, particularly stroke intervention and outcomes.

Dr. Shah's research interests center around mechanical thrombectomy procedures for acute ischemic stroke, with specific expertise in cerebral reperfusion injury, contrast extravasation, and intracranial hemorrhage following endovascular interventions. His work examines differences between anterior and posterior circulation strokes, procedural variables affecting outcomes, and risk factors for complications following mechanical thrombectomy.

His research has been published in translational stroke research journals, with a focus on clinical outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy procedures performed at the University of California Irvine Medical Center. Dr. Shah's work contributes to understanding the complex relationship between reperfusion injury and functional outcomes in stroke patients.

Dr. Shah has collaborated with researchers across multiple departments at UCI, working on retrospective analyses of patient outcomes following mechanical thrombectomy procedures conducted between 2014-2017.
