Bio
Michael D. Dake was born in South Bend, Indiana and received his undergraduate degree at Harvard College where he was elected First Class Marshall, Class of 1973. Subsequently, he graduated from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston where he completed an internship, residency, and chief residency year in internal medicine before moving west.
The year following his fellowship, he worked at San Francisco General Hospital before moving to Miami in 1988 to join Barry T. Katzen, the year after he founded the Miami Vascular Institute. In 1990, Dr. Dake returned to California to assume the positions of Section Chief of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology at Stanford University School of Medicine and Co-director of the Catheterization and Angiography Laboratories at Stanford University Hospital. In addition to pioneering work in the area of stents for the treatment of venous obstruction and the earliest literature contributions in the field of CT angiography, the Stanford group under the leadership of Dr. Dake performed a number of medical firsts.
The most enduring reputation of Stanford Interventional Radiology is the sustained development of endovascular procedures for the management of a variety of aortic diseases. Blessed by supportive relationships with talented surgeons from a department with a long celebrated history of excellence in the operative treatment of cardiovascular diseases, the interventional radiology section under Dr. Dake’s leadership acquired extensive clinical experience with endovascular procedures for the management of ischemic complications related to branch vessel involvement with aortic dissection, while in the animal laboratory they were exploring innovative techniques to treat the aortic lesions in acute type B dissection. The novelty of these approaches soon gained the attention of those in the field with interests in acute aortic syndromes.
In January 2005, Dr. Dake assumed the role of Chairman of the Department of Radiology and the Harrison Distinguished Medical Teaching Professor of Radiology at the University of Virginia Health System. In addition, he held professorial appointments in the Department of Medicine (Pulmonary Diseases) and Surgery at the School of Medicine in Charlottesville. During his tenure, he led the development of a new research facility for the Department with the construction of the Snyder Translational Research Building at the Fontaine Research Park. Dr. Dake served as a member of the Market Strategy Committee of the Health System, the Clinical Chairs Committee of the Health Services Foundation, and the Clinical Services Executive Committee.
In the fall of 2008, Dr. Dake returned to Stanford where he is Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Director of the Catheterization and Angiography Laboratories at Stanford Medical Center. He and his wife, Barbara, have three daughters and a son.
