O autorze

Dinker Belle Rai is a Board Certified Indian American vascular surgeon who served as the Past Chairman of the Department of Surgery and as the Chief of the Department of Vascular Surgery / Vascular Laboratory at the Interfaith Medical Center, Brooklyn, New York. He is credited with developing the first ever method for retrograde catheterization of the venous tree as well as with the discovery of the motion of venous valves in human beings. In addition to that, his original research on histopathological specimens of patients with saphenofemoral incompetency resulted in a paradigm shift in management of varicose veins. He also performed the first ever vein valve transplantation below the knee. The discovery of right atrial mechanical function is a pivotal discovery in his medical research work.
