About me
Steven Abramowitz, MD, is the Physician Executive Director of Vascular Surgery for MedStar Health and a member of the Society for Vascular Surgery.
Dr. Abramowtiz's clinical interests include central venous occlusive disease, aortic aneurysmal disease, vascular access for hemodialysis, peripheral vascular disease, and limb salvage. His research interests currently include vascular surgery education, iliocaval reconstruction, and the treatment of critical limb ischemia.
A graduate of Yale University School of Medicine, Dr. Abramowitz is an international leader in endovascular iliocaval reconstruction, a two-stage minimally invasive reconstructive technique that has been paramount in the treatment of patients diagnosed with vena caval stenosis and central venous occlusive disease. Central venous occlusion is a debilitating disease, which, if left untreated, results in limb laceration and chronic limb ischemia.
He has a clinical and research focus on complex venous disease, critical limb ischemia, and innovative approaches that improve patient recovery.
Dr. Abramowitz is an advocate for the improvement of postoperative recovery for patients receiving radial artery catheterization procedures. These improvements will help individuals being treated for venous disease heal faster, allowing them to walk sooner after surgery. He is also an advocate for finding ways to incorporate minimally invasive techniques into open surgery in order to reduce healing times as well as the exposure that comes with open surgical procedures.
Philosophy of Care
"It's important to me that my patients fully understand their diagnosis and that they are a part of their treatment. By understanding what their goals are and what they expect for their care, I am able to tailor their treatment to meet their expectations.
I put my patients' interests first and try to do what's best for them. I create life-long treatment plans for my patients because there is no quick fix for vascular disease.
When I work with referring physicians, I aim to serve as an extension of their care plan partner. Continued communication, as well as a relationship with referring physicians, is a key factor in successful treatment."
