Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Dr. Grace J. Wang is an Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Her clinical interests include carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting, endovascular and open interventions for limb salvage, endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms, and dialysis access. Dr. Wang is also Clinical Director of the Vascular Lab at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
She completed a Masters of Science in Clinical Epidemiology through the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics at University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests lie in using large scale databases to study trends in practice, predictors of outcomes, and gender disparities in access to care in vascular surgery. She has utilized the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), National Surgical Quality Improvement (NSQIP) as well as the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) registries to conduct these studies. She has a focused research interest on the application of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) to thoracic aortic pathologies.
She serves as the lead physician for the regional Midtlantic Vascular Study Group of the VQI. As the VQI is a large data respository of most vascular surgical procedures, she continues to publish manuscripts which span the interventions and surgical procedures that are performed by vascular surgeons including carotid endarterectomy, carotid stenting, IVC filter placement, lower extremity bypass, and others.
