Today’s episode is a throwback to ESVS Annual meeting in Krakow. Prof. E.Avgerinos has shared his knowledge about pelvic venous disease, while also taking opportunity to raise awarness on this condition. We focus on an overview of the disease with detailed information on pelvic embolisation- take a listen, you won’t regret it.

In this podcast, we talk with Drs. Melina Vega de Ceniga and Arindam Chaudhuri, former and current Editors in chief of the ESVS journal Vascular Forum, about the revamp and development of the journal, about the achievement of the impact factor, about team work, and much more!

EJVES Vascular Forum is aimed primarily at vascular surgeons dealing with patients who have arterial, venous and lymphatic diseases. The focus of the journal is to provide an inclusive multimedia platform for education, dissemination of scientific content, interactive discussion and opinion formation. It publishes case reports and case series, technical notes, original research in a medium length format, literary reviews with educational value and other commissioned educational pieces, like evidence based clinical scenarios.

This week, we release the last of three podcasts recorded live during the Translational Spring Meeting in June in Stockholm. Dr. Rachael Forsythe gives us an invaluable insider's look into the emerging science of biomarkers in Aortic imaging. Where do they come from, how did we find them and what are they for? All of this and more in this weeks episode.
