Our PVI Course, once again held at the magical 'Carrousel du Louvre', in Paris, this festive season, is perfectly timed annually, at the terminus of the year, enabling us to reflect on the previous 12 months of clinical and academic progress in our worldwide, but as ever close knit, vascular community.

The founding principles of the PVIc are based on inclusivity and international teamwork in vascular field. We are delighted to provide such a platform for worldwide collaboration, encouraging energetic and passionate debate, combining our experience and expertise from all corners of the globe, and further growing our collective knowledge in vascular diseases.

Currently, E-health is recognized as a major lever for improving the continuity of exchanges between our various collaborators, including clinicians, academics and industry, departmental leads and trainees alike. Thus, for the past few months, the PVIc E-platform has placed digital technology at the heart of this uninterrupted exchange and sharing program, with our bi-monthly newsletters.

This year, we published 24 newsletters, featuring 12 interactive clinical cases that gathered 1,065 participant responses. Additionally, we released 10 interviews, broadcasted 18 webcasts of PVI 2023 sessions, and introduced a brand-new section for publication reviews, where 8 articles have already been shared! In this end-of-year newsletter, we’ve gathered the highlights from each section of our twice-monthly editions—a special gift waiting for you under the digital Christmas tree!

This E-platform is the PVIc gift for the PVIc community, and with this resource, we keep the conversation going throughout the year, continuing to strive for progress and stimulate continued problem solving, until we meet again for next year's Course. We invite you to continue to participate, debate, be promoters of clinical cases and practical expertise by sharing your valued experience with the entire PVIc community at [email protected].

2024 has been extremely productive, and continues to deepen our base of knowledge and expertise. As we welcome the fresh energy of the new year, 2025, and the years to come, are sure to crescendo this interactivity. We thank you all deeply for your commitment to our specialty, and thanks to you and us all together, we can continue this progress and strive for the upmost in excellence in our field.

Happy end of 2024, and long live 2025.

Bonne année à tout le monde
