The EVST @ Charing Cross 2019 session was a full success! Our invited speakers gave excellent talks on “Reaching the limits of endo or open – when to change strategy”. The session concluded with the EVST Abstract Prize Session, where trainees and young vascular surgeons from all over Europe presented their scientific work. Andreia Coelho from Porto, Portugal won the first prize for her presentation on the prediction of survival following ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The second and third prize went to Pavel Kuryanov (Saint Petersburg, Russia) and Thomas Aherne (Dublin, Ireland), respectively. Congratulations to the winners and all presenters! Thank you all for attending the session and participating in interesting discussions. We look forward to seeing you at the next EVST session!
