Eugene S. Lee, M.D., Ph.D.

Clinical/Research Interests

Eugene S. Lee has an interest in surgical treatment of carotid, aneurysmal, dialysis access, and peripheral vascular disease. He has particular experience with aortic stent grafts as well as hemodialysis access surgery. Dr. Lee's research interests include outcomes evaluation regarding vascular surgical intervention. He has evaluated monitoring ischemic complications after aneurysm surgery and the utility of a large aortic screening program at the Northern California VA Health Care System. He conducts translational projects evaluating monocyte and matrix metalloproteinase activity in vascular remodeling for arteriovenous fistula maturation.
