2022-2023 President, Texas Society for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery

On behalf of the Texas Society for Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (TSVES), we are pleased to invite you to participate in the 2023 Annual Meeting. The meeting this year will be held on November 3rd and 4th at the Post Oak Hotel in Houston, TX. We are looking forward to hosting approximately 125 vascular and endovascular surgeons and trainees from Texas, Oklahoma, and surrounding areas.

Realizing that the care of vascular patients is a team sport, we will continue to expand the Society’s membership to all of those taking care of vascular patients. This includes not only vascular surgeons but all of the members of the team such as trainees, students, nurses, and other allied health professionals. Non-members and other medical professionals are encouraged to attend as well.

We are looking forward to continuing our expansion on topics such as Career Development and Diversity in the field of Vascular Surgery. This year‘s Rutherford lecturer will be Air Force veteran and long-time vascular surgeon, Joseph Mills, Sr. His presentations and contributions are sure to be enlightening and engaging. The Clifford Buckley Lecture (est 2020) will continue to memorialize our long-time colleague and friend. Vascular surgeon Dr. Dawn Coleman of Duke University School of Medicine will be presenting this year.

The goals for this Society in 2023 are to form new committees in an effort to increase membership, increase the recognition of the society throughout the regional vascular community, to strengthen and expand our relationships and support with industry, and to have our meeting abstracts published in an internationally recognized journal. I am looking forward to a terrific year for the Society.
See you in Houston!

Sincerely,

Pedro G. R. Teixeira, MD, FACS, FSVS
