ISSVA Membership is open to physicians and biomedical scientists with an interest in vascular anomalies or you can apply for Affiliate membership if you are a nurse, other health care professional or other individual who is actively involved in the field of vascular anomalies. Learn More About Types of ISSVA Membership.
We have been made aware that someone is using the names of ISSVA board members to send phishing emails to ISSVA members, and some have even reported phone calls asking for the transfer of money. Under no circumstances should any member send money or personal information to anyone based on an email which appears to be from an ISSVA board member. There is no need to notify us if you receive such an email, please just delete it.
The Journal of Vascular Anomalies (JoVA), an online-only open access journal dedicated to the scientific investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of congenital and acquired human vascular lesions, will support ISSVA's mission to spread education to physicians, researchers, allied health, and other professionals interested in the field of Vascular Anomalies.
The journal’s focus includes novel approaches, evidence-based research, critical reviews and emerging science from a broad array of medical, surgical, radiologic, and scientific disciplines. As a peer-reviewed journal, we cannot guarantee acceptance, however strongly encourage you to consider submission to further share your knowledge with the vascular anomalies community.
We are currently accepting submissions of original scientific research (molecular, genetic, histologic); original clinical studies (prospective, retrospective, case series); contemporary reviews; evidence based reviews; how I do it?; case reports; and letters to the editor.
