OUTLINE

Pioneering Uncharted Frontiers in Vascular Medicine: Research Born in the Clinic, Returned to the Cure

At the Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, we are dedicated to conquering vascular diseases through the synergy of elite surgical mastery and cutting-edge basic research. As our society ages, the prevalence of conditions such as aortic aneurysms and arteriosclerosis obliterans is surging, making therapeutic innovation an urgent imperative.
Our research is anchored in the unmet medical needs we encounter daily in clinical practice. We are committed to Translational Research—a vital cycle that begins with questions from the operating room and returns scientific breakthroughs directly to patient care.

RESEARCH PROJECTS

A. Basic Research

  • Analysis of Late Occlusion Mechanisms Following Bypass Surgery

  • Therapeutic Angiogenesis Therapy for Chronic Limb Threatening Analysis of Intestinal Ischemia During Major Vascular Surgery
  • Pathogenesis of Aortic Aneurysms
  • Development of Experimental Aortic Aneurysm Models
  • Research on Preventing Infection in Prosthetic Grafts

B. Clinical Research

  • Improving Long-term Outcomes of Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair and Expanding its Indications
  • Minimally Invasive Treatment for Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms
  • Pathology of Buerger's Disease and Vasculitis
