Lindsay Thomas, RN, MS, CNS
Affiliate, Medicine - Med/Cardiovascular Medicine
BioMs. Lindsay Thomas earned her BA in Integrative Biology from UC Berkeley in 2003 and her RN and MS from UCSF in 2006 and 2009 respectively. She completed a Double Master’s in Cardiovascular Nursing and Genomics and is a board certified clinical nurse specialist in critical care nursing. She joined the Stanford Interventional Cardiology Team in 2011 where she has pioneered the advanced practice nursing role in the cath lab and been a leader in the development of the Left Atrial Appendage Closure program. She serves as adjunct faculty for the UCSF graduate nursing program and is the co-chair of the Northern California Chapter of the Preventative Cardiovascular Nurses Association. Lindsay specializes in treating and caring for patients with established coronary artery disease and cardiovascular risk factors; she strives to provide excellent patient care and education to optimize a heart healthy life style to promote wellness with use of medications and invasive procedures when life style alone is not enough to achieve desired results. When not working Lindsay is an outdoor and exercise enthusiast, who enjoys participating in various endurance activities and has completed several triathlons. She also enjoys reading and discussions with her book club, going to the theater, and spending quality time with her friends and family.

Kenneth Tran, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - Vascular Surgery
BioDr. Tran is a vascular surgeon in the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Division at Stanford Health Care. He is also a clinical assistant professor of surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Tran graduated with high honors from the University of Virginia School of Engineering in 2011 and earned his medical degree from Stanford University School of Medicine in 2016. He completed his surgical training at Stanford University School of Medicine, culminating in his completion of the Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency at Stanford in 2023. During his residency, Dr. Tran completed a two-year NIH-funded fellowship under the mentorship of Dr. Alison Marsden. This fellowship focused on using computer simulations of blood flow to enhance the treatment of vascular diseases.
Dr. Tran's research pursuits center on expanding the use of computational simulation techniques to understand changes in blood flow after different vascular treatments. He also has a special interest in using customized grafts to repair complex aortic conditions. Dr. Tran studies blood flow and clinical outcomes after treatment with these customized aortic grafts.
He has published his work in numerous prestigious peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Vascular Surgery, JAMA Surgery, and the European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery. He has presented at the podium at numerous national and international conferences. Dr. Tran has also received multiple research awards, including the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Society’s Medtronic Resident Research Award, the best resident presentation at the Swiss Society for Vascular Diseases, and the Young Researcher Prize at the European Symposium on Vascular Biomaterials. He also co-authored a chapter in the book Complications in Endovascular Surgery.
Dr. Tran’s clinical interests include the entire spectrum of vascular surgery, including but not limited to:
• Traditional and minimally invasive strategies for aortic aneurysm repair
• Traditional, minimally invasive, and hybrid methods for managing peripheral vascular disease
• Management of cerebrovascular disease, including carotid angioplasty/stenting, transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), and conventional carotid surgery
• Comprehensive dialysis access creation
• Treatment of venous reflux -
