Recognition & Awards
Nominated University of Wisconsin SMPH 2023 Dean’s Award for Excellence in Medical Student Research Mentorship, Judged by Student Research Committee
(2023)
Dr. Matsumura was nominated by four medical students for this prestigious award. While the Department of Surgery enthusiastically supported the nomination, the student research committee awarded it to another faculty member in 2023.
28th Annual W Andrew Dale Family Memorial Lecture, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN., Vanderbilt Department of Vascular Surgery
(2022)
The Dale Lecture is an endowed Visiting Professorship which honors the legacy of Dr. Andrew Dale, and Dr Matsumura delivered it on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in 2022.
52th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Cardiovascular Surgery Invited Lecturer, Japanese SCVS
(2022)
Dr. Matsumura presented a keynote address on Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Research Interests
My research interests have been focused on carotid stenosis, thoracic aortic disease, lower extremity ischemia, vena cava filter, and abdominal aortic aneurysm. I have led many pivotal trials that have established improved treatments for patients suffering from these problems. Subsequently, I have been deeply involved in the training of physicians-in-practice on how to optimally use these novel therapies. Recently, I have focused my efforts on studying and improving the team care of patients who require anterior lumbar interbody fusion.

Clinical Interests
I led development of improved endovascular treatment for a wide range of vascular problems, including carotid stenosis, abdominal aortic aneurysm, thoracic aneurysm and dissection. I am currently focusing on developing team-based care for patients requiring spine fusion through an anterior approach.
Care Philosophy
I focus on the patient and family experience. A cohesive team approach is preferred for many complex problems. Most vascular problems may be managed conservatively with excellent long term success.
Personal Interests
My family enjoys living in Colorado
Volunteer Activities
I have helped develop a sustainable regional vascular training program in East Africa
