An SVS dream of increasing awareness of and preventing vascular disease is taking root across the country.
Three projects, funded by the first SVS Foundation Community Awareness and Prevention Project Grants, will:
Smoking: Surgeons debate performing lower-extremity bypass in patients who are active smokers.
An interview with Michel S. Makaroun
Q. You’ve been leading the way on the issue of a future workforce shortage. Will this be a major initiative of your presidency? What other issue(s) and challenges stand out for your attention?
The 2018 Vascular Annual Meeting featured nearly 1,800 attendees, just shy of the record; phenomenal science; a wide range of educational programming; and new session formats with overflow attendance.
The SVS Foundation has created a new grant designed to help sustain surgeon-scientists’ critical research amidst any funding gaps. Applications are due Oct. 1.
Dr. Michel S. Makaroun, President, has been active in the SVS in a variety of roles since 1997 and served as secretary from 2013-2016.
There’s no question that medical billing coding is vitally important. Get it wrong and the bottom line suffers. It’s that simple.
Statin therapy can boost survival rates in patients undergoing repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, according to an article in the August issue of Journal of Vascular Surgery.
A new Journal of Vascular Surgery publication, “JVS: Vascular Science” is planned to launch in early 2019, Drs. Peter Gloviczki and Peter Lawrence announced at the Society for Vascular Surgery’s Vascular Annual Meeting.
Leaders of the SVS Wellness Task Force urge all SVS members to complete a new survey on physician burnout, this one aimed at physical debility.

A handful of SVS members will soon begin implementing projects to improve community health in three areas throughout the United States.
This year’s E. Stanley Crawford Critical Issues Forum addressed the current status of the vascular surgery workforce, its existing geographic distribution, the potential for a worsening shortage, and proposed solutions to ensure future vascular care delivery.
