Research areas: Surgical clinical and basic research on aortic diseases, with a focus on treatment systems for the root of type A aortic dissection, repair strategies for bicuspid aortic valve malformation, and new paradigms for the treatment of the neurological system in aortic arch surgery.

Cutting-edge technology: In 2017, the institute pioneered the application of aortic balloon occlusion technology to total aortic arch replacement and stent elephant trunk surgery, shortening the deep hypothermic circulatory arrest time to 3-5 minutes, and was rated as a "TOP 5" study by AATS. The institute has independently performed over 1000 cardiac surgeries, maintaining a success rate of over 99% for various aortic diseases and adult heart diseases.

Specializes in treating: acute type A aortic dissection, aortic root lesions, complex aortic arch lesions, and ruptured thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Academic Highlights and Core Values: Deputy Director of the Surgical Management Committee and Director of the Third Vascular Surgery Ward at Fuwai Hospital; Standing Committee Member of the Vascular Surgery Professional Committee of the National Cardiovascular Disease Expert Committee. Published over twenty SCI papers in top international journals such as JTCVS, ATS, and EJCTS.
