  • Internship and Residency, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, 1983-1989

Clinical Specialties

Dr. Hoch is certified by the American Board of Surgery, with a certificate of additional qualifications in vascular surgery. He is chief of the vascular surgery service at the William S. Middleton Veterans Administration Hospital. Dr. Hoch has special interests in complex and aortic visceral artery occlusive disease, carotid artery reconstruction, repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms, use of the minilaparotomy technique to repair aortic aneurysms, and the use of endovascular techniques to repair abdominal aortic aneurysms and manage patients with lower extremity arterial occlusion.

Research Interests

Dr. Hoch heads the Section of Vascular Surgery's research laboratory. Research in the lab is focused on the prevention of vein graft intimal hyperplasia, which is the primary clinical cause of aorto-coronary vein graft failures during the first 2 years after coronary artery bypass surgery.
Dr. Hoch also has clinical research interests in magnetic resonance imaging in vascular patients, thrombolytic therapy, medical management of patients with claudication, and development of the less invasive technique of minilaparotomy for aortic aneurysm repair.
