RESUMO
The purpose of the SVS is not just to hold an annual meeting, but also to pursue social, financial, and political responsibilities. In addition, the Society leads in research, training, education, and practice (ie, patient care). The current leadership of the SVS is dedicated to preserving the history of the Society. The History Project Work Group will execute the orders of the Society to develop a series of digital videography recorded interviews with leaders in vascular surgery to be made available to our membership. The information collected will form the basis for a book on the history of the SVS.

The American Vascular Association/Lifeline Foundation is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. This remarkable two-decade journey represents a cumulative effort by the leaders and members of the Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). For the historical record, we would like to chart the sequence of events leading to various programs. In 1986, the Executive Council of SVS approved the formation of an Education/Research Foundation, from which the Lifeline Foundation evolved, with the mission to support the career development of young research-oriented vascular surgeons. Since that time, Lifeline has awarded 141 Student Fellowships, 21 Wylie Traveling Fellowships, 17 Mentored Clinical Scientist Development (K08) Awards, and three Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development (K23) Awards. In 2001, the American Vascular Association (AVA) was established under the aegis of American Association for Vascular Surgery (formerly International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery-North American Chapter). In 2004, with the merger of the SVS and the American Association of Vascular Surgery into a single entity (SVS), Lifeline and the AVA merged into a single foundation, the AVA. As AVA/Lifeline is poised to launch a campaign for an endowment fund, we hope this report will let the members of the SVS know what has been accomplished, what we plan to do, and, most importantly, what we need to do in the future.

The Lifeline Foundation/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute William J. von Liebig Mentored Clinical Scientist Development (K08) Award program was established as a unique partnership to support vascular surgeon-scientists. Between 1999 and 2005, 39 applications were submitted, and the overall funding rate was 49% (14 von Liebig K08s and 5 additional NHLBI K08s). Vascular surgeon K08 recipients (median age, 38 years) had held faculty appointments for 2.5 +/- 0.4 years, with 2.6 +/- 0.2 years of previous research experience and 28.4 +/- 6.2 publications. These individuals subsequently authored 5.1 +/- 0.8 peer-reviewed publications per recipient per year, of which 35% were research and 65% were clinical. Six of seven holding the K08 over 3 years had received academic promotion, and all five completing the 5-year award had achieved independent investigator status with National Institutes of Health support. The von Liebig K08 program has therefore been an effective vehicle to stimulate research career development in the field of vascular surgery.

In brief When a young person presents with typical symptoms of claudication that are relieved with rest, physicians should consider a vascular abnormality in the popliteal fossa. The popliteal artery may become entrapped because a cyst or fibrous band compresses the artery or because the artery deviates from its normal course. This article describes the diagnosis and treatment of popliteal artery entrapment syndrome and discusses two case reports. Arteriography is needed to establish the definitive diagnosis. Surgery relieving the entrapment is indicated to alleviate symptoms and to prevent possible future disability from arterial thrombosis and distal embolization or occlusion. This therapy provides excellent results.
RESUMO
Carotid stenosis is currently estimated using methods based on flow velocity or two-dimensional projection images. Manipulation of magnetic resonance (MR) images in three dimensions (3-D MR) allows for direct measurement of carotid artery cross-sectional luminal area. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the accuracy of 3-DMR as a technique for estimating carotid artery stenosis, and (2) to compare 3-D MR results with estimates from duplex ultrasound sonography (DUS) and conventional angiography. Twenty-nine patients underwent rapid, contrast-enhanced MRA within 1 month prior to carotid endarterectomy to obtain 3-D angiographic images of the carotid bifurcation. From these data, post-processing software was used to generate a longitudinal axis through the center of the vessel along which orthogonal cross-sectional images were taken. Luminal area measurements at the location of tightest stenosis and the distal normal internal carotid artery were obtained and used to calculate percent area stenosis. Applying the same procedure, 18 en bloc, ex vivo carotid plaques served as the standard against which we compared in vivo 3-D MR measurements at the location of tightest stenosis. Percent stenosis comparisons between MRA, angiography, and duplex ultrasound were also made. Our results showed that the measurement of luminal area by 3-DMR is accurate in predicting the degree of carotid stenosis. Direct measurement of luminal area may overcome limitations inherent to methods that rely on flow velocities and two-dimensional views of the carotid vasculature. A larger prospective study is necessary to confirm the reliability of this technique.
