48th Annual Symposium for Society of Clinical Vascular Surgery


February 25, 2021

Attendees and presenters eagerly anticipate the return of in-person conferences and symposiums, as we prepare for the 48th Annual Symposium hosted by the Society of Clinical Vascular Surgery (SCVS). The symposium, hosted from March 13th to March 17th, kicks off in a newly designed hybrid format at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel. The hybrid meeting will include both an in-person component for members who wish to travel, as well as a virtual component for those who wish to participate online.

Several members of the Department of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery with McGovern Medical School at UTHealth and Memorial Hermann Heart and Vascular Institute at TMC will be in attendance, both in-person and online, to present, share, and discuss recent findings, results, and advancements in vascular and endovascular surgery.  Our Faculty, trainees, and staff have been selectively chosen and accepted to present on various plenary discussions, poster competitions, and discussion sessions at this year’s meeting.

A list of all accepted work submitted by members within the UTHealth banner include:
