The Society for Vascular Surgery will participate in a new global vascular practice guidelines initiative

Recognizing the global nature of vascular care, the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS) is joining the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) and the World Federation of Vascular Societies (WFVS) in a new initiative to create global practice guidelines. In this process, the SVS represents national, regional, and local vascular societies in North America; the ESVS represents national vascular societies from Europe; and the WFVS represents the Australian and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery, the Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery, the Vascular Society of India, the Vascular Society of Southern Africa, the Asian Society for Vascular Surgery, and the Latin American Society of Vascular Surgery and Angiology. Although these three societies will lead the process, it will be open to participation by other specialty societies who treat vascular disease, including Interventional Radiology, Angiology, Cardiology, Stroke Neurology, Phlebology, and Vascular Medicine. Together, we will generate and publish internationally developed guidelines for care, which are evidence-based and independent of industry, in all aspects of vascular disease.
