A sincere thank you to everyone who has already taken part — your responses are already helping to highlight how saphenous vein assessment is approached across different centres.
In CLTI, outcomes often depend on the availability of a suitable great saphenous vein. While conduit choice is clearly important, the criteria and conditions used to assess vein suitability vary widely in practice. SAVVY aims to capture this real-world variation and use the findings to inform national optimisation of assessment protocols, with the longer-term goal of reducing unwarranted variability.
The survey remains open, and we would particularly welcome further responses from across the vascular multidisciplinary team, including nurses, vascular scientists, and sonographers, to ensure a comprehensive view of current practice.
