About This Show
AI-drafted summaryVIVA (Vascular InterVentional Advances) is a leading multidisciplinary medical education conference for the vascular and endovascular community, held annually in Las Vegas and organized by the not-for-profit VIVA Foundation. Now in its 24th year, the meeting brings together specialists in vascular surgery, interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, vascular medicine, neurointervention, neurosurgery, and cardiothoracic surgery to explore cutting-edge techniques, hands-on learning, and late-breaking research aimed at advancing endovascular care and improving patient outcomes.
Guided by the VIVA Foundation's multidisciplinary Board of Directors, the program delivers evidence-based education, interactive sessions, and meaningful opportunities for collaboration across specialties. VIVA runs alongside The VEINS (Venous Endovascular INterventional Strategies), a companion conference dedicated to the diagnosis, intervention, and management of venous and venolymphatic disorders.
The conference is worth attending for its internationally recognized faculty, its late-breaking clinical trial presentations, and its uniquely comprehensive, cross-specialty format that draws leaders from every area of vascular care. Physicians, physicians in training, early-career physicians, nurses, technologists, and allied healthcare professionals all find dedicated programming, while industry partners gain direct access to decision-makers across all endovascular specialties.
