Special issue on sustainability in IR

Modern medicine is an important source of waste which contributes to the environmental issues we are facing today: climate change, pollution, environmental degradation, and resource depletion. Sustainability should therefore be an important issue for everybody working in IR.

 

With this special issue CVIR Endovascular hopes to create awareness about how we can all contribute to solve this problem.

 

We want to hear from you, tell us about your plans to contribute to sustainability in IR for a chance to be featured on the CVIR Endovascular blog.
