The best judged challenger on the day will be asked to present an expanded presentation in the main session. In accordance with the CV Scoring guidelines for the vascular SET program, the presentation may be eligible for CV points. All challengers will therefore need to prepare to potentially present a critical analysis of the evidence for management of the novel vascular condition.
