Dr. Marc Van Sambeek

Biography

Marc van Sambeek is a part-time professor in Application Engineering, Vascular Surgery, and Endovascular Therapy at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), where he is also affiliated with the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven, where he works as a vascular surgeon. His research mainly focuses on minimally invasive vascular surgery, concentrating on endovascular treatments for conditions such as aortic aneurysms, carotid artery stenosis, and thoracic outlet syndrome. His research aims to improve clinical decision-making processes in interventions by employing mathematical models that predict the progression of vascular diseases and the outcomes of proposed intervention scenarios. These models are tailored to individual patients using specific input data acquired through non-invasive imaging techniques and functional measurements. He earned his medical degree from Radboud University Nijmegen in 1986 and completed his training as a surgeon at the Sint Franciscus Gasthuis, Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, subsequently obtaining registration as a surgeon in 1995 and specializing as a vascular surgeon in 1997. He attained his PhD from Erasmus University Rotterdam in 1998 with a thesis on intravascular ultrasound for peripheral endovascular interventions. Prior to his current role, he served as a staff surgeon at Erasmus Medical Center from 1996 to 2007, emphasizing minimally invasive vascular surgery before moving to his current position at Catharina Hospital in 2008 and TU/e in 2017.
