AVF VENOUS2024 IVUS Case Competition
The American Venous Forum is accepting submissions for our VENOUS2024 IVUS Case Competition. This program is dedicated to the future generation of physician leaders and to provide them with a platform to showcase their clinical expertise and positively influence the wider physician community through their winning case studies.
Case Study Topic
We welcome you to submit a ~7 minute case study in PowerPoint format that highlights “Noteworthy Cases Incorporating Philips IVUS to Diagnose and Treat Venous Pathology.”
The four highest scoring submissions will be invited to present their case live at the American Venous Forum’s 36th Annual Meeting in Tampa, Florida on Sunday, March 3, 2024, either in-person or virtually. A winner will be selected by a panel of judges and audience voting.
The four finalists will receive complimentary registration to the AVF 2024 Annual Meeting.
The winner will receive:
