Vascular surgeon-scientists may submit their research for presentation at the 2025 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM) in June starting from Nov. 6 through Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025.
VAM research—both clinical and translational—is considered for presentation in several different forums that appeal to all attendees, from plenary presentations, rapid-fire talks, international and video sessions, poster competitions and more.
In 2024, there was a nearly record-breaking 794 abstracts submitted, with 407 finding space on the meeting’s program.
VAM 2025 will be June 4–7, 2025, returning to New Orleans for the first time in several decades. Educational sessions will run across all four days and there will be ample opportunity for all to participate.
“Our best vascular surgical science is at the heart of the Vascular Annual Meeting,” particularly, the plenary and rapid-fire presentations, said Jason T. Lee, MD, the new chair of the SVS Program Committee, which selects the abstracts in a blinded process “VAM25 is where we will showcase the latest findings that influence care of patients with vascular disease, provide broad education to vascular surgeons and highlight the future of our specialty.”
The SVS Postgraduate Education Committee (PGEC), chaired by Claudie Sheahan, MD, is slated to offer sessions on topics including dialysis challenges, Enhanced Recovery after Vascular Surgery (ERAS), complex dissection care, vascular trauma and spinal cord ischemia.
