Markovic is a staff MD at Duke University Medical Center, where during his specialization in general surgery, he became extensively involved in advancing the care of patients affected by chronic venous insufficiency. Notably, Dr. Markovic was the first doctor (together with Dr. Shortell) to discover genes responsible for the pathogenesis and progression of chronic venous insufficiency by evaluating the entire human genome of patients affected by this highly prevalent and often significantly debilitating vascular disorder.
Dr. Markovic currently serves as a reviewer for the Journal of Vascular Surgery and has authored numerous book chapters, peer-reviewed studies, and national and international guidelines on treating patients affected by vascular disorders. Dr. Markovic became a member of the American College of Phlebology when it was established in 2008. He is one of the authors of the Report of the Society for Vascular Surgery and the American Venous Forum on the Medicare Evidence Development and Coverage Advisory Committee panel on lower extremity chronic venous disease.
