Research
Dr. Stanley research interests include arterial wall biology, renovascular hypertension, mesenteric vascular disease, and genetic variations in the vessel wall. He received an NIH Vascular Disease Academic Award in 1993, which enabled him to establish a multidisciplinary clinic for patients with vascular disease to benefit from care by physicians from multiple specialties. This coordinated effort continues today in the Taubman Outpatient Vascular Surgery Clinic.
He is the author of nearly 450 scientific articles and chapters in surgical textbooks. He has edited nine books, including two on renovascular hypertension, one on biologic and synthetic vascular prostheses, one on clinical ischemic syndromes, one on aortic surgery, and four editions of Current Therapy in Vascular Surgery. He has contributed to numerous medical conferences, both in the United States and abroad.
