Michael L. Marin

Michael L. Marin, born in 1956, is an American vascular surgeon. With Frank Veith, Juan C. Parodi and Claudio J. Schonholz he was among the first in the United States to perform minimally invasive aortic aneurysm surgery with a stent-graft, and in 2004 he was the first doctor to implant an intravascular telemetric monitor that alerts physicians to leakage in aortic stent-grafts. He attended Mount Sinai Medical School, trained at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center and completed a vascular surgery fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center. He joined the Mount Sinai staff in 1996, co-founded the stent-graft maker Teramed Corporation in 1997, became chief of vascular surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in 2001 and surgeon-in-chief and chairman of the Department of Surgery in 2003. He is co-inventor on twelve patents, has published widely on endovascular surgery, and helped create a surgical facility in Kyabirwa, Uganda.
