Dr. Ronald L. Dalman was elected vice president of the Society for Vascular Surgery at the organization’s annual meeting in Boston. With his new position, he joins the line of leadership to the presidency.
CHICAGO, Ill., July 1, 2018 – New leaders were elected at the June annual business meeting of the Society for Vascular Surgery in Boston. They are:
CHICAGO, Illinois, June 27, 2018 – The Society for Vascular Surgery has named Dr. Gregorio Sicard, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the Lifetime Achievement Award Winner for 2018. The award is the highest honor bestowed by the society each year.
The Society for Vascular Surgery now has a clinical practice guideline devoted solely to imaging following vascular surgery interventions.
Between billing, coding, keeping electronic medical records up to date and … oh yes, … actual surgery, vascular surgeons increasingly report feeling overwhelmed and burned out.
From JVS-VL: Public Funding of EVA Reduces Costs
Publicly funded endovenous ablation has reduced the rates of high ligation and stripping, which in turn has reduced costs to the Canadian health system by approximately $42,000 a year.
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?

Up to 28 AAPA Credits Possible
Physician assistants want to showcase how important PAs are to the vascular team, and learn more about vascular disease and medical management at the same time.
The E. Stanley Crawford Critical Issues Forum – marking 25 years under that name this year – is a mainstay of the Vascular Annual Meeting.

Physician burnout, fiscal challenges, lifelong learning and additional courses on hemodialysis: those all will be featured in this year’s Vascular Annual Meeting.
