About
Constantijn E.V.B. Hazenberg is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of vascular surgery and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on developing non-invasive therapies for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). His key research areas include robot-assisted high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), arterial wall targeting, and the treatment of atherosclerotic plaques. Hazenberg’s major contribution is demonstrating the safety and feasibility of using dual-mode ultrasound arrays (DMUA) for simultaneous imaging and thermal ablation of arterial lesions, offering a potential alternative to traditional revascularization methods that suffer from limited long-term patency. His foundational 2020 preclinical study (21 citations) established the proof-of-concept for robot-assisted HIFU targeting of the femoral artery, while his 2022 pilot study protocol (10 citations) outlines a pathway toward clinical translation. This work addresses a critical gap in PAD management, where current interventions have acceptable initial success but poor durability. Hazenberg’s research holds promise for reducing the need for invasive procedures and improving outcomes for patients with atherosclerotic disease, positioning him as a key innovator in non-invasive vascular therapeutics.
