- Assistant Professor of Vascular Surgery
Dr. Hassoun joined the surgical faculty of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2005. He completed his Vascular
and Endovascular Surgery Fellowship in the Division of Vascular Surgery at the Northwestern University in
Chicago, IL, and received his General Surgery Training in the Department of Surgery at the University of
Texas – Houston Medical School. His clinical interests are in minimally invasive management of aortic aneurysms,
carotid artery stenosis, mesenteric/renal artery stenosis, and occlusive peripheral artery disease (PAD).
His research interests are in the molecular mechanisms of visceral organ ischemia/reperfusion injury and inflammation.
