Letter from the President

Eric D. Endean, MD, FACS

The Southern Association for Vascular Surgery, established over four decades ago, has developed into the premier regional vascular surgery society. While there are many reasons that the SAVS has risen to the top, I believe that chief among them are the exceptional scientific program that we have come to expect year after year and the collegiality and friendships that develop among members.

From the Secretary/Treasurer

William D. Jordan, Jr., MD
