Journal of Vascular Anomalies (JoVA)

JoVA was recently approved by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ)! This is the first step towards article indexing on PubMed Central and MEDLINE.

We invite you to read some of JoVA's most recent publications:

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. We now have a category for “expert opinions” submissions. Submit today to ISSVA’s journal dedicated to Vascular Anomalies.

Congratulations to the Earl P. Benditt Award Recipients

We extend congratulations to two ISSVA members who received awards from the North American Vascular Biology Organization (NAVBO).

Both Miikka Vikkula (2023) and Joyce Bischoff (2022) are recipients of the prestigious Earl P. Benditt Award, in recognition of "an individual who has made an outstanding discovery or developed a concept that has been seminal to our understanding of vascular biology or pathology."

These well-respective productive colleagues have both made significant contributions to the field of vascular anomalies, which have unraveled molecular mechanisms of these disorders, led to new therapies, and continue to stimulate trainees they have mentored, to continue vascular research.

We are so proud of you Joyce and Miikka for your work and receipt of this Meritorious Award.

This award recognizes their work in Vascular Anomalies and also acknowledges that this field of study is of significance to the vascular biology community.
