If the abstract has been selected for the SVS VAM poster session and has also been accepted to the plenary session of the Midwestern Vascular 2010, 34th Annual Meeting, the poster must be presented at the initial poster session of the VAM, but it will not be eligible for the SVS Plenary Session Poster Runoff: Championship Round. The paper will be presented at the plenary session of the Midwestern Vascular 2010, 34th annual meeting.
