The SVS is seeking volunteers who will represent a diversity of practice types and settings, career stages and perspectives.
With the advent of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) over the past several decades, along with more recent technical advances that now allow for more complex aneurysms to be treated with branched-fenestrated devices, it is not surprising that the rate of open AAA repair is declining. The important question now is, has this decline become so drastic that open AAA can no longer serve as a relevant marker for hospital quality, or program discrimination for trainees?

It’s already April. In years past, that meant the SVS membership application process was closed for the year.
But for 2018, SVS has moved to a new system, with membership applications reviewed quarterly.
Applications for the SVS Foundation’s Clinical Research Seed Grant program are due March 1.
This program is designed to spur interest and development of clinical investigators among SVS members, particularly junior members with limited prior experience as principal investigators.
The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) investment in accelerating the growth of vascular surgeon-leaders has begun.
Some 25 SVS members have embarked on a six-month course in developing leadership skills, as the first cohort of the new SVS Leadership Development Program.
ROSEMONT, Illinois, January 27, 2020 – The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) are releasing new Reporting Standards to ensure patients with Type B aortic dissections (TBAD) receive appropriate treatment and care.

With the expiration of the fourth edition of the Vascular Educational Self-Assessment Program (VESAP4) on July 31, owners have a bit more than six months to complete all modules and claim credits.
The Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) is undertaking a new study to take an objective, qualitative and quantitative approach when assessing the importance and financial impact of vascular services to health systems.
Because the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) updates healthcare billing codes annually, vascular surgeons need to have updates as well.
