2nd Opinion Expert

Trained as a Vascular and Endovascular Surgeon, Dr. Kim brings a focused expertise in the field of Vascular Compression Syndromes that include the following:

MAY-THRUNER SYNDROME

NUTCRACKER SYNDROME

MEDIAN ARCUATE LIGAMENT SYNDROME

SUPERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY SYNDROME

PELVIC CONGESTION SYNDROME

Collectively, they have been termed Abdominal Vascular Compression Syndromes -AVCS- by Dr. Kim to foster greater awareness of their shared symptoms, anatomic proximity, and physiologic interplay. This designation, reflected in his research and published work, is intended to facilitate identification and discussion, while acknowledging the complexity and often co-existing groups of diseases beyond vascular compression framework. While individual vascular compression syndromes occur most commonly, those with varying spectrums of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome can present with multiple co-existing vascular compression syndromes.

Dr. Kim offers a tailored consultation, employing a keen investigative approach to problem-solving patient’s symptoms by detailed analysis of the images in achieving accurate diagnoses. The goal lies in assisting the patients navigating the complexities of medical and surgical decision-making, and through a personalized approach, guiding patients on their difficult journeys, ensuring they receive the support and information necessary to make informed decisions about their health.
