Statement of Interest

I remember the first Eastern Vascular Society meeting I attended in 1990 in Boston like it was yesterday. Maybe it’s because of the close comradery I witnessed between vascular surgeons from differing practice locales in states throughout the northeast, the excellence and quality of the presentations and the fun social activities in the evenings. Or maybe it’s because it was the first time I presented a paper at an important meeting and Rich Cambria was the discussant, which kept me from sleeping well for the week prior to the meeting.  Whatever it was, I knew that I wanted to be not just a member of the EVS but rather an active and participatory member to help grow and shape the future of this wonderful society.  As an illustration of my commitment to these goals, I have served for 3 years as a Councilor-at-Large, 3 years as Treasurer, 1 year as Secretary, served on and sometimes lead, numerous committees (established and ad hoc), post-graduate courses at annual meetings, moderating plenary and poster sessions, and delivering multiple plenary presentations over the course of more than 25 annual meetings.  I have dedicated more time to the EVS than any other society of which I have been a member including the Society for Clinical Vascular Surgery of which I was the president in 2018.   I have seen the EVS go through some rough patches over these many years.   But I have also seen how with good leadership and members working together and volunteering their time, knowledge, and creativity, can overcome these obstacles to bring us where we are today.  Larger, stronger, and more inclusive than we have ever been. 

I have encountered some recent challenges, but my dedication to this society has kept me moving forward, sustaining my aspiration to one day lead the Eastern Vascular Society. My extensive experience, spanning over 30 years as an active and engaged member of the EVS, has endowed me with a unique perspective. This perspective will enable me to enthusiastically foster growth and innovation within our society. I hope the nominating committee will recognize my commitment and grant me the opportunity to become the next President-elect of the EVS.

Statement of Interest

Upon completing my Vascular Surgery Fellowship in 2008, one of the first societies that I joined was the Eastern Vascular Society. Since then, I have attended almost every Eastern Vascular meeting, and have forged close friendships with other members and with the industry representatives who attend and support our Society.

Two years ago I decided to leave the University of Pennsylvania, where I had practiced since finishing my training, and pursue a new opportunity and unique challenges as the Chief of Vascular Surgery at Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Our group at Lehigh Valley is clinically vibrant and deeply committed to the training of both general surgery residents and our first Integrated Vascular Surgery Resident, but the environment and people at Lehigh Valley were new and sometimes inscrutable to me. My friends and mentors at the EVS have helped me navigate this new professional challenge, and provided something of a cornerstone upon which I could depend and rely. Our Society has provided continuity and constancy in my academic and professional life as I have transitioned to Lehigh Valley. I think my current partners, trainees, and I can contribute a different perspective to and a robust participation in the EVS for many years going forward.

Over the years, I have especially enjoyed the EVS’s Annual Meeting and the opportunity it affords to reconnect with friends, learn about new technologies and surgical approaches, and visit interesting places. I clearly and fondly remember the 6-hour drive from Philadelphia to the Greenbriar in White Sulphur Springs, WV for the 2013 Annual Meeting, which I undertook with one of my trainees from Penn. We drove my wife Oksana’s brand-new Prius (with her permission) and we were ecstatic to get 50 miles per gallon on the trip! In recent years, Oksana has come to eagerly anticipate the annual EVS President’s Reception, and we both are really excited to visit Charleston for this year’s meeting.

As Recorder, I have enjoyed the privilege of tracking and reporting on the academic activities at our Annual Meeting, especially the eventual publication of the manuscripts presented each year. In fact, I was the first Chair of the Ad HocPublications Committee from 2021 to 2022; that committee has developed resources to assist membership in getting their research published.

If elected President-Elect I will endeavor to further the mission of the Eastern Vascular Society, especially as it relates to the education and competency of our members. Our specialty is dynamic and evolving, and the Eastern Vascular Society and its Annual Meeting are invaluable in furthering our expertise, competency, collegiality, and collaboration. I will work tirelessly to advance our Society’s efforts to promote DEI initiatives, support young and budding vascular surgeons, and provide a vibrant intellectual and social environment for our members, trainees, affiliated health care providers, and medical students. 

EVS Service & Leadership

• Active Member since 2010
• Young Surgeon's Committee 2012-2015
• Chair of Young Surgeon's Committee 2014-2015
• Membership Committee 2013-2016
• Chair of Membership Committee 2015-2016
• Councilor-at-Large 2018-2021

• Recorder 2022-Present
• Ad Hoc Bylaws Task Force 2022-2024
• Chair of Ad Hoc Bylaws Task Force 2023-2024

Activities in Other Societies:

From 2015 to 2016 I was President of the Delaware Valley Vascular Society. While clearly a less demanding role, that experience and responsibility will inform my tenure as President-Elect of the EVS.

From 2016 to 2019 I was Chair of the Video Committee of the Society for Vascular Surgery. In that time I developed a familiarity and understanding of the video presentation of cases and techniques in vascular surgery. I plan to leverage that experience to enrich the online video and Annual Meeting video offerings and resources of the EVS.

Hospital Roles Informing EVS Leadership Abilities

As Program Director of both the Fellowship and the Integrated Residency in Vascular Surgery at Penn for seven years, I have a demonstrated interest and experience in mentoring and teaching vascular surgery trainees. This will inform my tenure as President-Elect and then President, especially in regard to the education and enrichment of trainees and medical students in the region.

In two years as the Network Chief of the Division of Vascular Surgery at Lehigh Valley Health Network, I endeavored to reinvigorated our division, hire two experienced vascular surgeons to join our group, and facilitate the approval of an integrated vascular surgery residency into which we have matched our first intern. I therefore have a leadership role at a teaching hospital and experience directing a group of vascular surgeons, which will inform my vision and decision-making as President-Elect and then President of the EVS.

Academic Contributions to the EVS

My partners, trainees, and I have regularly submitted abstracts to the EVS Annual Meeting, and frequently presented research talks or posters. In 2024 one of the Lehigh Valley general surgery residents will present a poster: “Staged Hybrid Pararenal AAA Repair: Open Aorta-Renal Bypass and fEVAR.”

Curriculum Vitae

Statement of Interest

Dear Members of the Search Committee,

Thank you for reviewing my application and inviting me to submit a Letter of interest detailing my interest in the Secretary of the Eastern Vascular Society position and outlining how my experience and achievements have prepared me to fill this position and contribute to the society's ongoing success.

The Eastern Vascular Society has been my professional home for my entire career.   I have had the good fortune to present nearly every year at the annual meeting and to rotate through many committees of EVS, which has allowed me to understand its culture and the ongoing needs of the membership. I have extensive experience on working on many of the committees of the national and regional societies, which have included all aspects of clinical practice, academics, professional development DEI and education.  I led the foundation of the SOVONET region in VQI. I revamped the Texas Vascular Society to move away from an ad-hoc annual meeting to a formal and broad state society with named lectureships, which works in concert with VQI with a meeting management company. Externally, I have held positions in institutions within the leadership of heart and vascular institutions, led and successfully grew a division, and founded four training programs during my career.    My passion is growth and mentoring.

My leadership positions and achievements have provided me with valuable insights, skills, and experiences that have prepared me for the role of Secretary:

• Leadership in Professional Organizations: Serving in various leadership roles within professional organizations, such as committee chair positions or board memberships, has equipped me to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders, navigate complex organizational structures, and drive strategic initiatives forward.
• Advocacy and Policy Development: Engaging in advocacy efforts and participating in policy development within organized medicine have honed my ability to communicate persuasively, negotiate effectively, and advocate for policies that advance the interests of patients, healthcare professionals, and the broader community.

Statement of Interest

Dear members of the EVS nominating committee:

By this letter, I wish to express my appreciation for the nomination and  my interest in serving as Secretary of the EVS.  I am honored and hope to advance the objectives of the society, the largest regional society which promotes a diverse membership, from both urban and rural, as well as academic and community practices, including those from Canada and Puerto Rico. I am proud to be part of a society that promotes early career participation – ranging from medical students to young vascular attendings.

I am pleased to have participated in each annual meeting since my return to the East Coast from the Midwest and have provided a list of oral and poster presentations at the end of this letter. In addition to presentations, I have served as a moderator, discussant, mentor, and prior to becoming an official board examiner, as a mock oral examiner.

I have also served on the following society committees as shown below:

• Committee on Diversity and Women in Vascular Surgery:
• Member (October 2015 – March 2017):
• Committee Chair (April 2017- September 2019)

As a member, I actively participated on conference calls and emails and was a main contributor to the annual sessions by suggesting and inviting speakers, moderating along with the chairperson, and reviewing travel grant applications from minority medical students as well as mentoring them during the meeting. I took over as Chair of this committee in April 2017 when the active chair stepped down due to a change in career plans. Together with the EVS president at that time, Dr. Linda Harris, and other committee members, we prepared the Diversity Panel for the annual meeting.  We invited speakers such as Drs. Daniel Han, O. William Brown, Sonya Noor, and Malachi Sheahan to discuss the uprise, usefulness and risks of social media in our practice and the medical legal implications of using social media. We also discussed rules /finances and potential challenges in outpatient centers, and burnout amongst surgeons. The session was well attended, provoked vigorous discussions and I remained as chair for the following year.

During my official 2018-2019 term, we held a reception at the annual meeting and surveyed members to better understand our current membership demographic with regard to age, gender, race and ethnicity, religious preferences, practice setting (academic vs.  community) and location (urban vs rural).  The survey provided interesting information and reconfirmed our society’s need to increase efforts to become relevant and appealing to younger surgeons needs to increase their membership. I initiated a new DEI career development grant through personal communication withindustry. Two grants for career development for active or candidate members who were minority or proposed projects to boost underrepresented patients or trainees were given away during the annual meeting.  These grants remain an annual activity of the DEI committee.

• Membership Committee
• Member (October 2017 – October 2019
• Committee Chair (October 2019 – September 2021)

As a member, I participated in all conference calls, reviewed all applications assigned to me and discussed new plans and strategies. My subsequent tenure as membership chair ran for two years due to the ensuring COVID-19 pandemic.  During my time as committee chair, I held regular monthly meetings with committee members to review new applications, and work on strategies and protocols to improve recruitment and retention of EVS members  during that very challenging period for us all.  During this time, I worked with the president, executive council, and bylaws committee to redefine geographic and other criteria for membership and adjust the existing -at the time- bylaws, accordingly.

We subsequently started sending emails routinely throughout the year to candidate members with offers to transition to “active member” status if they were eligible.  This resulted in 32 candidate members who ascended to active statusduring the two-year period.

We also started an autorenewal option for members. I worked closely with WAM to update the correct status of members, issue certificates for active members, and redefine protocols since much of this information was lost when transitioning management companies. I personally called and emailed multiple colleagues to join the society, pay dues, or change status within the society.

During this time, we updated contact information for members to include personal email and cell phone numbers to allow all members - existing and new, to more easily find each other during institutional and career changes.

Overall, the member recruitment over the two years of my tenure was as follows:

• Sept 2020:  17 new active members, 3 affiliate members, 40 candidate, 19 candidate members transitioned to “active” members.
• Sept 2021: 18 active members, 2 affiliate 33 candidate members, 13 candidate members ascended to active from the entire year.

Publication Committee

• Member (September 2021-September 2022)
• Committee Chair (September 2022 – September 2023)

I was one of the founding members when this committee was first established in September 2021 and became chair the following year.  Together with the treasurer, encouraged EVS presenters and senior authors to submit their work to JVS and offered assistance to overcome any impediments. We continued this communication with presenters throughout the entire year.  We reviewed few  manuscripts, provided feedback on submissions, and encouraged authors whose manuscripts were rejected by JVS, to submit elsewhere.  We regularly performed internet searches to determine if papers from the annual meeting that were accepted elsewhere; thus, throughout the year, we were constantly updated on all academic activities related to work presented at our annual meeting. As a rewarding tool, we began posting all the new publications (rolling posting ) on our website, congratulating our members for their academic activities. As a result, EVS submissions to JVS journals increased by 50% by the end of first year after this committee was established and by 100% by the end of my tenure as chair.

• Radiation Safety Committee:
• Member (October 2019 – October 2023)
• Committee Co-Chair (October 2023 – Present)

My presentations while on this committee included “Special considerations: Pregnancy and Female Gender “during the 2020 meeting, “Tips and techniques to reduce radiation exposure” during the 2021 annual meeting, and a case presentation on options for reducing radiation exposure during  a complicated case  at 2022 annual meeting.  I moderated the session in 2022 and 2023 and, together with  my co-chair Anthony Feghali, just finished the details on radiation safety session for the upcoming annual meeting. Two invited speakers, Vikash Goel and Darren Schneider, will present “Dragons and  Tigers: Navigating the Era of Image-Guided Therapy”, and “Beyond X-Rays: Fiber Optic RealShape (FORS) Image Guidance for Radiation-free Aortic Interventions”.  As a result of our personal communication with Phillips, there will be a FORS  table during the simulation session at the meeting and both Phillips and  IOPS (Centerline) committed to financially support the meeting; these funds have been already provided to WAM.

Program Committee

• Member (October 2023 – Present)  As a member of the program committee, I reviewed over 50 abstracts and look forward to assisting in putting together the program.

Task Force for Bylaws and Nomination Committee

• Member (October 2023- present)  I participated in discussions, reviews and voting for important changes in our by-laws regarding electronic voting and the restructure of the selection process of officers  and councilors at large. The effort was led and brought to fruition through the hard work of Dr. Ben Jackson.

Councilor at Large of EVS Executive Council

• Member (October 2021-Present)  I participated in all executive board activities and worked on different committees as member or chair. My 3-year term will end in the fall 2024.

In addition to my committee work with EVS, I have held different positions for other vascular societies and organizations as follows:

New York Society for Vascular Surgery (NYSVS)

• President 2015-2016
• Treasurer 2013 -2015

I am grateful to my colleagues and friends for this nomination and the opportunity to potentially serve as society Secretary. I believe that, through my long association with EVS, service within various positions and committees, and committee chair experiences, I gained both experience and insight for this role and am prepared for all the inherent responsibilities of the position.

Most Sincerely,

Ageliki  George Vouyouka, MD, FACS,

Statement of Interest

My first involvement with the Eastern Vascular Society was in 2003 when I was awarded the inaugural trainee traveling scholarship under the tutelage of past-president Anton Sidawy. At the time, I was working in his lab and he encouraged me to apply. I can clearly recall travelling to New York to present our work, as this was my first podium presentation.

Since then, I have served on the following EVS Committees:

• 2015-2016       Young Surgeons Committee
• 2016-2018       Chair, Young Surgeons Committee
• 2018-2021       Diversity Committee
• 2017-2019       Program Committee
• 2019-2021       Chair, Program Committee
• 2022-2023       Vice Chair, By-Laws Committee
• 2023-2024       Chair, By-Laws Committee

I have served on multiple committees within the Society for Vascular Surgery, including the Young Surgeons Committee, Program Committee, Post-Grad Education Committee, and the Education Committee, the latter which I currently serve as the Vice Chair. All of these activities will better help me serve the EVS, specifically in member engagement.

I believe that my service as a Director of the Vascular Surgery Board, editor-in-chief of VSCORE (the national educational curriculum for vascular surgical trainees), Program Director of the Johns Hopkins Vascular Surgery & Endovascular Therapy Fellowship and serving on multiple committees within the APDVS set me up expand the EVS services to its membership, and more specifically, trainees and younger surgeons.

I believe that the EVS is the most prominent society in the nation that includes all vascular providers at every level, whether it is medical students, trainees, advanced practice providers, community surgeons or academicians. My vision is for the EVS to continue this by actively engaging the membership to cater to their needs. Early involvement in the EVS, as was my experience in 2003, is the key to building membership and I believe that my previous experiences within the EVS, as well as my experience in surgical education, will allow me to continue that theme moving forward.

I have enjoyed being involved in the Eastern Vascular Society for the past 21 years and it would be my honor to continue serving the Society in the capacity of Councilor-at-large.
