WElCOmE ADDREss

Dear Colleagues,

It is a great pleasure to invite you to participate in the forthcoming 19th Eurochap meeting of the International Union of Angiology, which will be held in Paris, in September 2010. On this occasion, vascular physicians, vascular surgeons, health professionals and scientists interested in vascular diseases from all over Europe and abroad will meet to share the progress of the vascular science and the development of new techniques and procedures. Symposia on diagnostic and therapeutic innovations will combine with state of the art sessions and high level interactive postgraduate courses where the scientist and the clinician, the senior expert and the junior investigator will build together a comprehensive and stimulating view of the vascular world, a world working hard for the improvement of the health and life of the patients suffering from arterial, venous, lymphatic or microvascular diseases.

This special event will take place in the Maison de la Chimie, in the historical center of Paris, nearby the Seine river, and will be followed by the 9th World Congress for Microcirculation; the 9th Annual Congress of the Société Française de MédecineVasculaire will also be held in Paris simultaneously: a whole vascular week and a unique occasion to enjoy the cultural wealth of Paris.

We look forward to welcome you in Paris for a meeting that will be a very special and memorable event for the vascular world.

For the Organizing Committee,

Professor Patrick Carpentier, President
