SVS 2009 Research Initiatives in Vascular Disease Conference

April 28 | Omni Shoreham Hotel | Washington, D.C.

Held the day before the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology Annual Conference 2009 (April 29 - May 1), the SVS 2009 Research Initiatives in Vascular Disease Conference is specifically designed to encourage interaction between vascular surgeon investigators and scientists from other vascular biology-related disciplines. A particular objective is to stimulate interest in research among trainees who are aspiring academic vascular surgeons.

The SVS Research Council and the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis & Vascular Biology (ATVB) Council of the American Heart Association are coordinating their basic science meetings for the first time in 2009.

The spring ATVB conference has become one of the premier vascular biology research meetings and this new combined conference is an excellent opportunity for scientific interaction with influential investigators working on vascular disease problems. Research by SVS members will have great exposure and visibility. Because of the tremendous quality of this meeting, the SVS Research Council has decided to make this annual event the primary venue for presentation of experimental vascular research by SVS members and associates.*

For more information about the Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology Annual Conference 2009, visit the conference Web site.

* There will not be a session dedicated to oral presentation of experimental research at the 2009 Vascular Annual Meeting (held June 11-14 in Denver).
