My clinical practice includes prevention, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of vascular surgery pathologies and its complications including arterial aneurysms, endoleak treatment, aorto-iliac occlusive disease, mesenteric and reno-vascular disease, infected arterial grafts, peripheral arterial disease, and carotid disease. My academic interests and research focuses are renovascular and mesenteric disease, aroto-iliac occlusive disease, infected arterial grafts and surgical education, leadership and diversity and inclusion.
