Submissions are now open for the next Peripheral/Endovascular Interventional Octagon on the topic: Extreme CLI and No-option Patients

CVI announces the launch of the Interventional Octagon webinar, a monthly case competition starting January 2025, for fellows and early-career physicians. Submitters compete to win a prize and a travel grant to the next CVI Conference (CVI 2025 for January-June sessions, CVI 2026 for July-December sessions).
