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 Any failure to comply with this policy will result in the paper being rejected, or later withdrawn or canceled.

Manuscript Submission to the Journal of Vascular Surgery:

Manuscript submission to the Journal of Vascular Surgery (JVS) for those accepted to present is mandatory. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically to the JVS prior to the meeting and no later than May 30, 2006.

Author Policy

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