Debates 2023 - Call for Cases
  • Call for Cases Submission Form

    The second “Debates & Updates” meeting will be held in a hybrid format, with the in-person activities being held in Boston, United States from 19-21 April 2023. The 3-day meeting will consist of lively panel discussions, case reviews and interaction with participants. This will be a highly interactive meeting and we strongly encourage audience participation (from both in-person and virtual attendees).

    To submit a case to be considered for inclusion on the program, you must complete the below form, which includes uploading a PDF of your case. Before starting this form, please have your PDF document ready to be uploaded; it should consist of:

    • Slide 1: Brief, concise history
    • Slides 2-4: Clinical photos, relevant radiologic images, any other studies
    • Slide 5: Concise issues to be addressed

    *Please do not include patient names or identifying information (institution, etc.) and do not include more than 5 slides

    For all cases that are submitted, we ask that they have a multidisciplinary approach (IR, Surgery, Medical) and you have information outlining how your team decided on the best approach for the case.

    We are looking for the conundrums; cases that make our heads hurt; cases that, at first make sense, but something in our investigation did not fit (like a phenotype that did not go along with the genotype found); innovative therapeutic options; disorders that do not have an exact diagnosis, etc.

    The cases, preferably, should fit in one of the following categories.

    • Arteriovenous / venous / lymphatic / capillary malformations
    • Complicated lymphatic anomalies (CLA: GLA / KLA / GSD /CCLA)
    • Complicated hemangiomas
    • Rare vascular tumors
    • Cases that mimic vascular anomalies (but are not a vascular anomaly)
    • Complications of medical treatment

    Call for submissions close on Friday, 09 December 2022 at 11:59 pm, US Eastern Time.

  • Please note that we will consider all accepted, and previously unpublished, cases for publication in ISSVA's journal, the Journal of Vascular Anomalies (JoVA). Like all case submissions to JoVA, the cases will have to undergo a blind review process for acceptance and, if accepted may be included as a supplement. If you have questions or concerns about this, please let us know via email at: info@issva.org.
