Dear Colleagues and Friends,
It is a great pleasure to announce the 6th Annual Meeting of our LebaneseSociety for Vascular Surgery. Despite the unstable political situation of ourCountry and the neighboring region, we were glad to complete our prepa-rations and come up with a full scientific package. As you noticed, the or-ganizing committee gave a new image to the congress.
The scientific program was limited to two days for a more active participationand smooth running of the event.
Physicians from different specialties will participate, all involved in the treat-ment of vascular disease. This new approach will allow an interesting dis-cussion between Vascular Surgeons, Vascular Radiologists, and Angiologists.Each speaker and participant will contribute with his “know-how” to makeour practice better.
This year, we chose a major theme for our meeting: The Vascular AbdominalPathology. Three whole sessions will be dedicated to discuss the diagnosticand therapeutic strategies when addressing the abdominal vessels.
The constantly evolving domain of Venous and Thrombo-embolic Disease isnow an inseparable part of our Meeting. Key lectures by dedicated special-ists will treat this issue.
We also added a new section to our program: The free paper session. Par-ticipants can now present valuable and interesting topics in vascular surgery.I wish to thank all the speakers who accepted our invitation. A special con-sideration for our international colleagues who will fly to Lebanon fromFrance, Jordan, Turkey and USA, despite the difficult times we’re living. Wewish you a pleasant stay.
I hope the Congress will meet your expectations and welcome to all.
