Dearest Colleagues,

two years after the first VIP Congress, in which the preferred guests were Latin American surgeons, in 2014 the second edition will see North American surgeons at the center of the scientific scene.

The program will focus on the treatment of arterial diseases: technical aspects and future perspectives in vascular and endovascular surgery will be discussed by an outstanding international faculty.

The congress will be held in the historical center of Padua, whose University, one of the oldest in the world, has been honoured through the centuries by illustrious scientists as Copernico, Galileo, Vesalius, Harvey and Morgagni. Well-known for its beauty, as is testified by the frescos in the Scrovegni Chapel, Giotto’s masterpiece, and with good connections to Venice and Verona, Padua is one of the nicest cities in Northern Italy.

We invite you to participate in this unique event and hope you will enjoy your stay!
