Evan C. Lipsitz, MD, MBA, is Chief, Division of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, Medical Director, Vascular Diagnostic Laboratory, and Professor, Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at Montefiore Einstein. His clinical focus encompasses the full range of vascular treatments, including endovascular thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, aortic dissection, carotid artery disease and stroke prevention, lower extremity peripheral arterial disease and limb salvage, endovascular and open treatments for aneurysms and peripheral arterial disease.
In 1990, Dr. Lipsitz received his Doctor of Medicine from Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons. He pursued postdoctoral training at Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, completing his internship and residency in general surgery as well as an ECMO clinical and research fellowship. He later came to Montefiore Einstein, completing his vascular surgery fellowship in 1999. In 2017, Dr. Lipsitz received his Master of Business Administration from The Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University.
Dr. Lipsitz's research focus includes the utilization of endovascular graft technology for treating thoracic and abdominal aneurysms. He has been an investigator in clinical trials of numerous grafts and has evaluated the efficacy of wireless pressure sensors and endostaples as adjunctive therapies utilized with these grafts. Dr. Lipsitz has also focused research on limb salvage and the treatment of lower extremity peripheral vascular disease (PVD). In treating PVD, he has studied both open surgical and endovascular techniques, including the use of various grafts and stents. His work has helped popularize the minimally invasive technique of subintimal angioplasty technique in the United States. He is also interested in healthcare policy and development, particularly in the area of quality metrics. Dr. Lipsitz has published more than 110 papers in scientific journals and over 40 book chapters. He also is a reviewer for several journals and is active in healthcare policy and management.
Dr. Lipsitz is board certified by the National Board of Medical Examiners and is a member of several professional societies including the Society for Vascular Ultrasound, the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Society and the International Society of Endovascular Specialists. He has been named in New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors in New York” as well as Castle Connolly’s “Top Doctors: New York Metro Area” for several years.

Research Focus
Dr Lipsitz’ research interest includes the treatment of thoracic and abdominal aneurysms with endovascular graft technology. He has been an investigator in clinical trials of numerous grafts and has evaluated the efficacy of wireless pressure sensors and endostaples as adjunctive therapies utilized with these grafts.
Dr. Lipsitz' research has also focused on limb salvage and the treatment of lower extremity peripheral vascular disease (PVD), the obstruction of large arteries to the legs. In treating PVD, he has studied both open surgical and endovascular techniques, including the use of various grafts, and stents.
