The Education Committee of the SAVS is pleased to announce this year's Post Graduate Course, taking place on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. The leadership of the Association realizes that we often do not maximize the greatest asset of the society - our members and their individual expertise. We know that many of you perform a high volume of complex cases and have refined your own techniques for maximum efficiency and patient benefit. We want you to share your unique tips, tricks and techniques with the society.

Our postgraduate course title: The first SAVS Technical Open / Endo 'Cookbook' : Expert Surgeons Sharing Their Personal Tips, Tricks and Techniques to Get the Job Done and Stay Out of Trouble

Please submit a title and short paragraph (2-3 sentences) describing your unique technique or procedure using the link below.

Deadline: Tuesday, September 7, 2021 at 11:59 pm EDT

If selected, we will then ask you to create a 3-4 minute video demonstrating your technique or a brief < 5 min Powerpoint presentation with detailed description / diagrams and pictures of the novel technique. We hope that all presenters will be able to attend the 46th Annual Meeting in person to discuss their technique with the entire society and answer questions. First come, first serve for volunteers!

An example submission would be as follows:

Title: Total Retrograde Pedal Intervention for CLTI

Summary: Our center performs X tibial angioplasty for CLTI annually. We have found that use of a 4 Fr slender sheath, u/s guidance, and continuous infusion of anti-spasmodic agents maximizes outcomes and decreases need for re-intervention. Catheter and Wire choices and site of access will be discussed in video.
