Fedor Lurie Big text(born 1957) is an American vascular surgeon[2] and medical researcher. He has published in scientific and medical journals. He pioneered adaptation of endovascular venous ablation, [1,2] and made a number of fundamental discoveries in physiology of venous system. [3,4] Career. Lurie received his doctor of medicine degree with Honors in 1980. After completion of postgraduate training, he started his academic career in vascular surgery with research focus in clinical physiology of cardiovascular system, and clinical research in acute and chronic venous disorders. Lurie has served on the faculty of the University of California, Davis, University of Hawaii, and University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Physiology of Venous System. Lurie was first to describe the second mechanism of the valve closure, which does not require a retrograde flow or a reversal of pressure gradient. This work had led to a description of the venous valve cycle and has change the concept of venous valve being a passive player in the circulation. [1,2] In 2012, Lurie published another discovery of the helical pattern of blood flow in veins, and one of the mechanisms of its development – the relative angulation of pared venous valves. [3,4] He later described a second mechanism of creation of helical flow in veins – the tangential position of the orifices of venous tributaries. [5] Clinical trials. Lurie has served as the principal investigator on the first randomized clinical trial (RCT) of deep vein valve reconstruction surgery, [6] the first randomized clinical trail of the thermal ablation device, [7,8], the first multi-center study of the reliability of venous ultrasound, [9] and several other clinical trials. The unique design of these RCTs included a 5-year pre-randomization wash-out period in the trial of deep vein reconstruction, which allowed to identify two distinct patterns of the natural history of the chronic venous disease. [6,10] The EVOLVeS trial [7,8] was the first vascular RCT that used a disease-specific quality of life assessment as the primary outcome. The multi-center INVEST project [9] remains to be the only study of diagnostic properties of venous ultrasound that used methodology consistent with the International Standards for the use of repeatability, reproducibility and trueness estimates in measurement uncertainty estimation. [11]

Compression therapy. Lurie’s research studies on compression therapy included a description of the mechanism of action of intermittent compression on superficial and deep venous flow dynamics, [12,13] changes in interface compression pressure over time [14,15], objective assessment of adherence to compression therapy, [16] and using compression therapy for prediction of the outcomes of invasive procedures. [17]

Guidelines, Consensus Statements, and Reporting Standards. Lurie was the lead author or co-author of most of the major practice guidelines, [18-20] reporting standards [21-24] and consensus statements [25-27] on venous and lymphatic disorders.

Organizational activities. Fedor Lurie served as the general Secretary of the Pacific Vascular Symposium, the President of the "American Venous Forum", and the American Venous Foundation. He served on the Board of Directors of the "Society for Vascular Surgery", American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, and the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission. He is a member of the CMS MEDCAC, and served on several Data Safety monitoring Boards for the NIH clinical trials
