The statement addresses the evolution, impact, and future direction of the specialty, and emphasizes its worldwide availability, according to the Fairfax, VA-based society.
It's the result of more than two years of collaborative work and is being copublished in August in the society's Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology and in the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe's journal, according to SIR. It has the support of 41 international societies representing 10,000 interventional radiology doctors, SIR said.
