O início da adolescência

Abstract

(SBACV), founded in São Paulo by Doctors Mario Degni and Rubens Carlos Mayall on November 1 st , 1952, celebrates 60 years of existence, with great tradition and history. Thirteen years after its foundation, in 1967, SBACV began editing its first journal, Revista Cardiovascular, which was a scientific tool to publicize our specialty for 15 years. In 1985, because of the great success of the Encontro Paulista de Cirurgia Vascular meeting, Drs Antonio Carlos Simi, Bono Van Bellen and the late dear Prof. Adib Salin Bouabci founded Revista de Angiologia & Cirurgia Vascular, which was edited by the São Paulo Chapter of the SBACV and was the only scientific journal of our field in Brazil until 2001. Recently, recognizing its historical and scientific importance, our editor-in-chief, Dr. Winston Yoshida, digitalized all the issues of Revista de Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular and inserted them in the SBACV website. In 2002, when our society completed 50 years of existence, Professor Marcio Leal Meireles, who was the president of SBACV at the time, wrote the Editorial of Jornal Vascular Brasileiro (JVB) first issue, entitled "Progress and Maturity". In it, he and his editor-in-chief, Professor Telmo Bonamigo, stated their commitment to spreading the knowledge of Angiology and Vascular Surgery in Brazil. At the time, Professor Telmo Bonamigo was already concerned about the lack of national publications that would reflect the reality in the Brazilian scientific establishment. We did not have publications with Brazilian epidemiological data, and we were forced to rely on data from foreign studies that did not correspond to our reality. According to him, scientific journals had major importance, since they gave their authors, groups and institutions a name, creating tradition and increasing the ability to raise funds and to reveal new academic talents.

Vascular Surgery in Brazil

“…Since 2002, the society has sponsored and published a scientific journal, the Jornal Vascular Brasileiro, with original articles in Portuguese and English. 5 The SBACV has initiated the implementation of a national registry of vascular diseases (Registro Vascular Brasileiro e RVB), aiming to provide quality benchmarks and to analyse trends in vascular care and outcomes in Brazil.…”
