🧪Research Fields 研究领域
🎓Key Contributions 主要贡献
Lung Transplantation for COVID-19
Performed the first successful bilateral lung transplantations for COVID-19 ARDS in the United States, establishing protocols that have since been adopted globally for patients with irreversible COVID-19 lung injury.
Robotic Thoracic Surgery
Advanced robotic-assisted lobectomy and segmentectomy programs at Northwestern, demonstrating superior lymph node dissection, reduced blood loss, and shorter convalescence compared to conventional VATS approaches.
Representative Works 代表性著作
Lung transplantation for patients with severe COVID-19
Science Translational Medicine (2021)
Described pathologic features and surgical outcomes of bilateral lung transplantation in COVID-19 ARDS survivors, providing mechanistic insights into irreversible lung remodeling.
Robotic lobectomy has the greatest benefit in patients with marginal pulmonary function
Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (2020)
Demonstrated that robotic-assisted resection preserves postoperative pulmonary function better than VATS or open lobectomy in patients with compromised baseline lung function.
