A moderated poster competition took place at the 2011 Vascular Annual Meeting. Accepted abstracts selected by the SVS Program Committee for poster presentation went through a two-round judging process. The first round was a poster presentation of accepted posters divided into topic groups. The winners from each group went to a final round to present their poster in a Plenary Session Championship Round.
