Vascular Annual Meeting Abstract Submission Policies

Dual or Redundant Presentation/Publication Policy
The work represented in the abstract must not have been presented, published or submitted to any other major meeting or journal. Any potential conflict with a previously presented or published abstract must be revealed at the time of submission. Any failure to comply with this policy results in the paper being rejected, or later withdrawn or canceled. The only exception is for the American Surgical Association (ASA) Annual Meeting. You can submit the same abstract(s) to this conference. If your abstract(s) is accepted for the ASA 2009 Annual Meeting, you need to notify SVS to withdraw it right away.

Manuscripts
Manuscript submission to the Journal of Vascular Surgery (JVS) for those accepted to present at the Plenary Sessions of the Vascular Annual Meeting is mandatory. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the JVS prior to the meeting no later than June 1, 2009.

Author Policy
It is the policy of SVS that either the primary author or one of the co-authors of each abstract must be a member of SVS. If you or a co-author is not a member, a member of SVS must sponsor your abstract. SVS sends all correspondence to the primary author or member sponsor regarding the submission.
