Fabian M. Laage Gaupp, MD

Fabian M. Laage Gaupp, MD, is an interventional radiologist who specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures to treat conditions affecting men’s and women’s health. He addresses benign prostatic hyperplasia (a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate) and uterine fibroids (noncancerous growths in the uterus) through techniques such as prostate artery embolization and uterine fibroid embolization.

Dr. Laage Gaupp is passionate about interventional radiology because it offers less invasive solutions, reducing the need for general anesthesia and long hospital stays. “Interventional Radiology allows us to treat patients without making big incisions,” he says. “This decreases the need for general anesthesia, long hospitalizations, and allows patients to recover in the comfort of their homes.”

He says that meeting patients and determining the best way to help them is one of the most rewarding parts of his work.

As an assistant professor of vascular and interventional radiology at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Laage Gaupp is committed to training future specialists. He co-founded an international consortium known as Road2IR, through which he has helped establish new interventional radiology training programs in East Africa, expanding access to minimally invasive procedures for more patients.

Dr. Laage Gaupp completed his medical training at Ludwig Maximilians University in Germany, followed by a surgical internship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and residency in interventional radiology at Yale New Haven Hospital.
