  • Can a bypass surgery cause kidney problems?

    Thank you for your question. Leg swelling, fatigue, and worsening kidney function often coincide with one another. It is unclear from this description if the leg swelling and kidney dysfunction is due to the bypass surgery. This would depend upon his baseline kidney function, what kind of bypass surgery he had, what other medical conditions he has, and his medications. Kidney dysfunction is not something to trifle with, however. I would recommend seeing your surgeon who performed the bypass to inform him/her of the problem, and to seek guidance as to the most appropriate next steps. Good luck! READ MORE

  • How to relieve vascular problems in both legs?

    Thank you for your question. This depends upon the cause of the swelling of both of your legs. Malfunctioning veins may be a cause of swelling, where surgical ablation might be helpful. There are many conditions that affect the entire body, however, that can also cause leg swelling, that would not be helped by surgical ablation. My recommendation to you would be to consult with a Vascular Surgeon and have them perform a thorough history and physical as well as a venous duplex ultrasound. This should help to guide your therapy. Good luck! READ MORE

Get to know Vascular Surgeon Dr. Jayer Chung, who serves patients in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Chung is a seasoned vascular surgeon with Baylor Medicine at McNair Campus in Houston, Texas. His clinical interests include limb salvage, diabetic foot ulceration, carotid occlusive disease, thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysmal disease, aortic graft infections, renovascular hypertension, mesenteric ischemia, venous and arterial thoracic outlet syndrome, and chronic deep venous thrombosis.

The doctor came to Houston from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he was an Assistant Professor and most recently, Co-Medical Director at The University of Texas Southwestern Wound Center. During his time in Dallas, he also served as the Chief of Vascular Surgery at Parkland Memorial Hospital for 5 years prior to assuming the position at the University. He also received his Master of Clinical Science (MSc) degree from the Southwestern Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences while in Dallas.

Alongside his clinical role, Dr. Chung serves as an Assistant Professor of Surgery within the Division of Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapy at the Baylor College of Medicine. There, he received the Early Career Faculty Award for Excellence in Patient Care.

Professionally, he holds membership status with several professional organizations, including the American College of Surgeons, the Association of Academic Surgeons, the International Society of Endovascular Specialists, the Society for Vascular Surgery, the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery, the Southern Association of Vascular Surgery, and the Western Surgical Association.

On the subject of his educational background, Dr. Chung earned his medical degree from the Upstate Medical University at Syracuse in 2001. He then went on to complete his internship and residency in surgery at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in 2002 and 2007, respectively. Finally, he completed his fellowship in vascular surgery at Emory University Hospital in 2010, where he was trained in the latest endovascular techniques as well as traditional open vascular surgery. 

Following his training, the doctor became board-certified in both general surgery and vascular surgery by the American Board of Surgery, an independent, non-profit organization located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded for the purpose of certifying surgeons who have met a defined standard of education, training, and knowledge. 

Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in the arteries and veins, also called the blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.

On a more personal note, Dr. Chung is married with two children.
