The Vascular Leaders Forum

The VIVA Foundation is proud to convene the Vascular Leaders Forum, a biennial symposium bringing together physicians, scientists, members of industry, the FDA, and CMS to address clinical issues in the vascular field. These forums serve to produce white papers that provide direction for these key issues and effect advancement of vascular care.
By creating forums for dialogue between the clinical vascular community and regulatory agencies, we are working to break down barriers in communication to move the field forward.
