Faculty

There are currently eight full-time general vascular surgeons whose primary objective is to provide the highest level of patient care as well as the best educational environment for the research and clinical training of general surgery and vascular surgery trainees in the field of vascular diseases. All of the faculty members listed below provide clinical care at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, John Cochran Veterans Administration Hospital and St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Drs. John Curci, M. Wayne Flye and Eric Choi also provide vascular surgery coverage at the John Cochran Veterans Administration Hospital.

Most of the faculty members hold joint appointments in the Department of Radiology, Section of Vascular and Interventional Radiology (VIR). These dual appointments reflect the significant overlap in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of care for patients with vascular disease shared by vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists in our institution. The rapid growth and application of endovascular technologies to the field of vascular surgery has served to further integrate patient care between these two specialties. Several aspects of the Washington University Vascular Surgery Residency Training Program take advantage of the unique relationship between these two departments.
