The VIVA Foundation will spotlight the latest advances in vascular medicine as 26 clinical trials are presented during The VEINS and VIVA 2026, taking place October 3-6 at Bellagio Las Vegas. The highly anticipated late-breaking presentations will provide attendees with early access to new evidence shaping the future of vascular care.
For 24 years, VIVA (Vascular InterVentional Advances) has set the benchmark for premier education and clinical excellence in peripheral vascular disease. Known for delivering the most up-to-date, practice-changing data, VIVA brings together the latest science, technological innovation, and international expertise.
The VEINS (Venous Endovascular INterventional Strategies) complements this tradition with a dedicated focus on the diagnosis, intervention, and management of venous disorders, creating a comprehensive educational experience across the full vascular spectrum.
An international, multispecialty faculty will deliver live cases, interactive workshops, and expert discussions, alongside the presentation of groundbreaking clinical trial results, providing unmatched access to the latest advances in vascular care.
Media personnel are invited to attend in person or virtually. For press registration, contact press@viva-foundation.org.
Be among the first to hear groundbreaking data and innovations from leaders in vascular care. Register for The VEINS and VIVA today: viva-foundation.org/register
The full agenda for both conferences is available at viva-foundation.org/agenda.
