Dr. Peden's experience with the HeRO Graft goes back over a decade. One of its principal investigators, Dr. Peden was one of the first to research the outcomes of HeRO Graft use in access-challenged patients with venous obstruction. His passion and dedication in the field of peripheral vascular disease continues as he currently oversees various ongoing outcomes projects and is principal investigator for multiple clinical trials.
At the top of his field in both surgery and instruction, Dr. Peden is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and received the A.O.R.N.
