Annals of Vascular surgery:
The official journal of the Florida Vascular Society is the Annals of Vascular
Surgery. Acceptance of an abstract for oral presentation at the FVS Annual Scientific Sessions carries with it the following options:
- To be published as an abstract in an edition of the Annals of Vascular Surgery featuring the Florida
Vascular Society Annual Scientific Sessions; and - If considered for an award the author must submit a draft of a manuscript prior to presentation at the Annual
Scientific Sessions and then to the Annals of Vascular Surgery thereafter. - If the author/presenter opts out of manuscript submission they will be ineligible for awards.
Please forward any abstracts and manuscript questions to: bcarpenter@fvs.org.
When submitting your abstract form online, please remember to email your current Curriculum Vitae to abstracts@fvs.org.
No reference should be made on or in the abstract to the names or institutions of the authors, as the abstract review process is conducted “blindly”, in that the reviewers do not know the origin of the work. Non-member authors must list the name of a member sponsor.
