Center for Vein Restoration Provides Stewardship and Expertise to AVLS, 2021. The 35th Annual Congress is a Huge Success.
Organized by the American Vein & Lymphatic Society (AVLS), Center for Vein Restoration (CVR) was honored to provide essential stewardship and again be featured prominently at this seminal medical conference. More than forty individuals were on-site representing CVR, while another twenty CVR team members worked remotely to bring this immense undertaking to life.
CVR physicians, clinical and administrative leaders, presented at more than forty sessions during this year's Congress. CVR shared the latest in venous and lymphatic disease research, honored the outgoing and incoming AVLS president by hosting the Presidential Reception, and took an active role in leading entertainment and networking opportunities, making this one of the most anticipated medical gatherings the year.
“Center for Vein Restoration and our physician and practice colleagues across the country commit to being leaders, along with AVLS, in fighting the proposed CMS office-based service cuts. These dramatic cuts threaten to shut down office-based procedures, worsen healthcare disparities, and increase healthcare delivery costs. Now, more than ever, it is time for us to take control of our destinies and act together to fight these draconian cuts that will result in arterial and venous disorders going untreated.”
- CVR President and CEO Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal

ABOUT VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY
Venous insufficiency, the cause of significant suffering due to the sequelae of venous hypertension, most commonly arises as achy, tired, and heavy legs. This common and underdiagnosed disorder affects between 30 to 40 million Americans. Risk factors include age, weight, prolonged sitting or standing, genetics, and DVT (blood clot) history.
