The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) invites authors to submit abstracts for the 2025 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM25). This premier event in the field of vascular surgery will feature the latest advancements in vascular medicine and offer a platform for researchers and practitioners to share their innovative work.

Authors are encouraged to review the following guidelines to ensure their submissions meet all requirements. In addition to traditional abstracts, VAM25 will also accept video submissions. We understand that creating high-quality videos can be time-consuming. Therefore, we recommend getting a head start by reading the guidelines to ensure your submission is well-prepared and meets all criteria.
