Second Annual Innovation in Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapies Award
Last year’s competition was led by the legendary Dr. Juan Parodi, immediate Past-president of the FJVIS – with more than 60 amazing abstracts submitted from surgeon-scientists from all over the globe.
The competition was fierce and the webinar (where all 5 winners presented their contributions) was one of the most successful webinars in the history of the Society.
A distinguished faculty selected because of their academic contributions and international reputation will judge the abstracts submitted.
