Vascular health is everything. Are vascular surgeons leaders? Partners? Or both?

To position the Society for Vascular Surgery – and its members – for the future, the SVS is launching a multi-pronged branding initiative.

Three Sessions Planned 

With fresh statistics and compelling anecdotes, the SVS Wellness Task Force will continue its work to facilitate SVS efforts to improve vascular surgeon well-being, by helping mitigate the personal, economic and social impact of vascular surgeon burnout.

Clearly, neither Kathleen Ozsvath, MD, nor Sherene Shalhub, MD, listened when each was told, more than a decade apart, that “women can’t be surgeons.” Now they’re holding a breakfast session that encourages women to be not only surgeons, but leaders as well.

The SVS “Vascular Spectacular” gala, after months of planning, is nearly here. And everyone, no matter where they are in the world on Friday, June 14, may participate in the Online Raffle or Silent Auction, right until it closes. (One caveat: You’ll need to have an Internet connection.)

Clinical Practice Guidelines and Reporting Standards are important tools as the SVS strives to improve quality of care and reduce variation. They also serve as an important benefit for SVS members.

SVS Foundation, SVN and SVU team up with AAAneurysm Outreach

With an increasing number of procedures transitioning to office and outpatient settings, the Society for Vascular Surgery has created the new member Section on Outpatient and Office Vascular Care (SOOVC), specifically geared to clinicians who work in these environments.

After four years of work and research, vascular experts from around the world have released a new, far-reaching global guideline on managing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a problem of increasing prevalence and higher health care costs world-wide.
