Research

Research plays a pivotal role in our commitment to providing cutting-edge vascular care. Our research efforts focus on improving patient outcomes, developing innovative treatments, and advancing the field of vascular surgery.

Plant-Based Diet Reverses Vascular Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

In a recent article published in the International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention, Dr. Lin and his co-authors conducted a prospective randomized study that showed whole food plant-based diet can reverse vascular endothelial dysfunction and decrease inflammatory reaction in patients with peripheral arterial disease.

The Need for Accreditation of Office-Based Interventional Vascular Centers

Patient safety and quality care are paramount for all healthcare providers, particularly with recent healthcare trend of outpatient endovascular intervention. Dr. Lin and his colleagues discussed the importance of accreditation of outpatient-based interventional vascular centers which can maintain quality patient care in an ambulatory office environment.

A Prospective Evluation of Duplex Ultrasound for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome in High-Performance Musicians playing Bowed String Instruments

In a prospective clinical evaluation, Dr. Lin and his co-authors reported a high incidence of thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition which can lead to chronic shoulder and neck pain, among professional orchestral musicians playing bowed string instruments such as violin or viola. The authors discussed their findings and possible causes of this condition among these musicians.

Treatment Outcomes and Lessons Learned from 5134 Cases of Outpatient Office-based Endovascular Procedures in a Vascular Surgical Practice

Clinical outcomes of more than 5,000 office-based endovascular procedures in a contemporary vascular practice were analyzed and reported in this article. The authors described their clinical experience and showed that excellent clinical outcome can be achieved with appropriate patient selection, meticulous techniques, and quality-driven approach.

Assessment of Lower Extremity Ischemia Using Smartphone Thermographic Imaging

Dr. Lin described a novel imaging technique of a smartphone-based hand-held infrared thermographic camera to evaluate patients with peripheral artery disease.

Percutaneous Bedside Femorofemoral Bypass Grafting for Acute Limb Ischemia Caused by Intra-Aortic Ballon Pump

Dr. Lin described a novel endovascular technique of creating a percutaneous femorofemoral bypass ta bedside in patient with acute limb ischemia caused by intra-aortic balloon pump.
