Research Overview

Dr. Fishman’s current research focuses on vascular anomalies, both vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Partnering with colleagues across multiple specialties in the Vascular Anomalies Center he co-founded, Dr. Fishman continues to characterize vascular anomalies and determine optimal clinical management strategies. Collaborating with translational scientists, genetic underpinnings have been discovered, facilitating targeted pharmacologic therapy. Dr. Fishman has delineated the subtypes of hepatic hemangiomas, demonstrated their natural history, and developed management algorithms to optimize outcomes. This has nearly eliminated mortality, the need for surgical intervention and hepatic transplantation. His recognition of the potential for infantile hemangiomas of the liver to cause profound consumptive hypothyroidism has facilitated early screening and aggressive thyroid replacement simultaneous with pharmacologic acceleration of hemangioma involution, thus preventing severe permanent cognitive impairment. With particular focus on rare vascular malformations of the gastrointestinal tract and genitalia, Dr. Fishman has demonstrated that blood transfusions can often be eliminated or reduced, without radical surgery. Having hypothesized “Central Conducting Lymphatic Anomalies” (CCLA) as a group of anatomic and/or dysmotility conditions, he demonstrated that bypass of the thoracic duct with lymphaticovenous anastomosis can resolve devastating chylous leak conditions in selected patients. This work has facilitated the entire field of lymphatic intervention.
