Thanks to his scientific contributions physicians can now do balloon angioplasties and many other procedures without subjecting their patient to radiation exposure and potentially harmful contrast material both required during standard procedures. Dr. Enrico Ascher is also recognized for creating a procedure called "mini-incision carotid endarterectomy" that shortens the incision required to perform a stroke prevention operation from an average of six inches long to one inch.
Dr. Ascher was one of the first physicians to recognize the need to address more thoroughly patients who are suffering from advanced venous disease with resultant loos of work days, pain, swelling and eventually ulceration that can take months to heal.

A couple of years ago, he was named as a Hero of the Month by the President of the borough of Brooklyn.
