I treat the full spectrum of vascular disease, including aneurysm, cerebrovascular disease (open and minimally invasive techniques), peripheral arterial and venous disease. However, I think of myself primarily as a limb salvage surgeon – I treat wounds on the legs due to arterial or venous pathology. Conditions I treat include peripheral vascular disease, critical limb ischemia, diabetic foot wounds, venous stasis ulcers and post-thrombotic syndrome. I specialize in complex “minimally invasive” (endovascular) therapies for arterial and venous peripheral disease. I have a unique practice in the reopening of occluded venous stents that may have been unable to be reopened elsewhere. I am the lead physician for our vein practice, treating varicose veins, lower extremity swelling and pain, and venous insuffiency and venous stasis with the latest technology, including radiofrequency ablation. I have an entire clinic dedicated to venous disease and vein patients once a week. My clinical and research interests include venous thromboembolic disease, acute deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms, pathophysiology of varicose veins and nanoparticle-directed venous therapy. I am the site PI for Promise II and Promise III Clinical Trials for Deep Vein Arterialization for Limb Salvage and “no-option” Critical Limb Ischemia. This trial may offer hope to patients with peripheral vascular disease facing amputation who may have been told nothing could be done to revascularize the limb.
