World Renowned Vascular Surgeon, Steven Elias, MD, FACS Announces Ground Breaking Procedure in Vascular Surgery
A Pioneer in this Medical Breakthrough, he is One of Four Surgeons in the World to Perform this Procedure.
Englewood, NJ, February 13, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Dr. Steven Elias MD FACS, Assistant Clinical Professor of Surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine NY and Director, Center for Vein Disease at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center NJ announces ground breaking technique in Vascular Surgery. When he is asked to count, Dr. Steve Elias can come up with almost 300 names of doctors he has personally trained in some of the least invasive, most effective vein surgeries in cardiovascular medicine.
In his 22 years as a vascular surgeon, he has made it a point to be on the cutting edge: in the early 80s, he was among the first to publish on the Axillary Vein Valve Transplant technique. Today, he can name to his pioneering credit TriVex (he was one of the first four surgeons in the entire world to perform the procedure), EVLT, Closure, and PAPS (Percutaneous Ablation of Perforators). Dr. Elias initially became interested in vein surgery when he was a surgical resident, “I was lucky enough to have Dr. Syed Taheri, a pioneer of modern vein surgery, take me under his wing at a time when most vascular surgeons were not the least bit interested in vein disease.” Dr. Elias continues, “As a young surgical resident, I was impressed how thankful and happy patients were after treatment. Their typical comment was, ‘My doctor told me to just live with it. Thank you for doing something that has made a big difference in my life.’ I have kept those comments with me my entire career.”
Surgeons around the Tri-State area from Columbia Presbyterian, New York University, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Long Island Jewish, SUNY at Stony Brook, Lenox Hill Hospital, UMDNJ and Newark Beth Israel have all been trained by Dr. Elias. In addition, surgeons from the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, New England Tufts Medical Center, University of Michigan, Australia, Germany, England, and Spain have attended training courses at Englewood with Dr. Elias.
Dr. Elias has been featured on CNN, Fox News, CBS, NBC and ABC. Dr. Elias is a fellowship-trained vascular surgeon with the Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Venous Forum, American College of Phlebology, Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery, and the International Society of Cardiovascular Surgery. He publishes regularly and he is committed to seeking out new procedures, teaching other physicians, and giving total vein care to his patients. “Throughout my surgical career, I have followed the same credo: respect elders, embrace the new, encourage the improbable and the impractical, and—most importantly—do so without bias.”
Dr. Steve Elias is Available for interviews. For press contact, please contact Janie Gafford at 310-728-6418 or send an email at janie@pranamarketing.com
