New in 2009

Hybrid OR Suite
New in 2009, the Vascular Annual Meeting exhibit hall will feature a complete Hybrid OR Suite, which is usually only displayed at large trade shows such as the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) Annual Meeting. Philips is teaming up with Skytron to create this versatile hybrid operating room, which allows you to perform open and minimally invasive cardiovascular procedures in the same room. The Hybrid OR Suite will be located in Pavilion F of the Exhibit Hall F.

Poster Competition
A moderated poster competition will take place at this year’s Vascular Annual Meeting. Accepted abstracts selected by the SVS Program Committee for poster presentation will go through a two-round judging process with the final round and prizes being presented on Saturday, June 13.

Video Presentations
The 2009 Vascular Annual Meeting will have a new option for presentation. During each plenary session of the Vascular Annual Meeting there will be a five-minute video presentation of an open or endovascular procedure by a SVS member or sponsored guest, followed by five minutes of comments and questions from the floor.
