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?
