Who Is Dr. Fu Weiguo?
Dr. Fu Weiguo (符伟国) is the Chief of Vascular Surgery at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, and one of China's most distinguished vascular surgeons. Internationally recognized for his expertise in aortic aneurysm repair, endovascular surgery, carotid artery disease, and peripheral vascular disease, Dr. Fu leads one of the highest-volume and most technically advanced vascular surgery programs in China. His mastery of both open surgical and minimally invasive endovascular techniques — including EVAR (endovascular aortic repair) and TEVAR (thoracic endovascular aortic repair) — makes him one of the most sought-after vascular surgeons in Asia. His work complements the vascular expertise of Dr. Lu Qingsheng at Changhai Hospital, giving CMCS patients access to elite vascular surgeons at two of Shanghai's premier institutions.

Dr. Fu Weiguo specializes in the surgical and endovascular management of vascular diseases, including:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) — open repair and EVAR

Why International Patients Choose Dr. Fu
International patients choose Dr. Fu Weiguo for his exceptional technical expertise in both open and endovascular vascular surgery, his access to the latest endovascular devices and hybrid operating theater technology, and his ability to manage the most complex aortic and peripheral vascular cases. For patients with aortic aneurysms, carotid stenosis causing stroke risk, or critical limb ischemia threatening amputation, Dr. Fu's team at Zhongshan Hospital offers a level of subspecialty depth and procedural volume that translates directly into better outcomes. His close collaboration with Dr. Ge Junbo's Cardiology team ensures patients with combined cardiovascular and vascular disease receive fully integrated care.
