Peripheral Vascular Surgery Society
Formed in 1976, the PVSS is an international society dedicated to the discipline of vascular surgery, with a focus on the needs of young vascular surgeons with less than twelve years experience in the field. The Society’s objectives are to improve the art and science of vascular surgery through the active sharing of knowledge, and to promote basic and clinical research into the evolving fields of vascular surgery and intervention. The PVSS has over 700 members, each having undergone specific residency training in vascular surgery.
PVSS members dedicate their professional lives to the prevention, understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of vascular disease. We recognize the central role that vascular medicine and surgery plays in many patients’ lives, and the constant vigilance required for its management. We are students of all aspects of vascular disease; its pathophysiology, natural history, pharmacotherapy, catheter-based intervention, and surgical remediation. We support active and honest interfaces between medicine, government, and private industry, and routinely dialog with non-medical disciplines. We support the missions of other professional societies with similar goals including the Society for Vascular Surgery, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Board of Vascular Surgery.
The PVSS sponsors two annual scientific meetings. The winter meeting, held in the western U.S. in late January or early February, includes three days of scientific presentations from members. The spring meeting is held in conjunction with the larger vascular meetings in early June. The spring meeting is now fully integrated into the venues and program of the Society for Vascular Surgery.
