The Honorary Milestones in EVH Program recognizes Endoscopic Vessel Harvesters who are driving EVH adoption, positive patient outcomes, and have helped make EVH the standard of care.
Originally launched in 2004 as the EVH Circle of Excellence Program, and to commemorate the program's 20-year anniversary of honoring EVH Harvesters, a relaunch in 2024 under a new name and visual identity marks a new era of dedicated Harvesters.
Individual nominations for the Gold, Platinum or Diamond levels are based on the number of EVH cases performed, regardless of device or manufacturer used.
