This May 2021 issue of Vein Specialist gathers personal reflections from AVF members on how COVID-19 reshaped their practices and lives, from a new private practice owner to a first-year attending and a medical student adapting to online classes. It also covers the AVF Foundation's new Venous Patient Outreach Survey, an industry partner's account of virtual clinical support, and clinical perspectives comparing venous disease treatment in Latin America, early thrombus removal experience from Denmark, and the growing use of the CHIVA technique in China.
