    WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENTES

    KAREL ROZTOCIL, MD, PHD, IUA PRESIDENT

    Dear Colleagues and Friends,

    It is great honour indeed for me to welcome you on the occasion of the Ist Congress organized by

    the Multinational Chapter of the IUA which is to be held in Palermo, one of the worlds most

    attractive tourist destination. I am very pleased to have the possibility to express best thanks to

    Prof. Novo and his team for the outstanding activity in preparing this scientific gathering. It will

    represent without doubt an impulse for the Multinational Chapter of the IUA to start and

    develop its own life.

    The subtitle of this meeting a multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular diseases is in good

    agreement with the current mission of the IUA which is focused on two main issues: to bring

    together all types of vascular specialists and to support their interdisciplinary cooperation which is

    at present necessary for good clinical practice. The second aim of the IUA is to support young

    vascular specialists and to give them an educational opportunity and the possibility to be active

    scientifically. I am sure both these aspects will be fulfilled and appreciated during the next

    Multinational Chapter Congress.

    Prof. Novo and his team have been working for many months to organize this congress and I am

    glad to have the opportunity to congratulate him for preparing us a unique opportunity to obtain a

    state-of the-art update on management of vascular disorders. Allow me to express my gratitude

    and conviction that we will spend together an unforgotable time in the city of Palermo.

    Welcome again and may we have a nice meeting in Palermo!

    NICOS ANGELIDES MD, PHD, FRCS, MLAVS PRESIDENT

    Dear Friends,

    It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the XXIV Mediterranean Congress of Angiology and

    Vascular Surgery which will be held finally in Palermo Sicily next October under the Presidency of

    Prof Salvatore Novo. I am sure this Congress will be a successful one and will give the opportunity

    for scientific dialogue and communication at its highest level.

    As you know, the Mediterranean League of Angiology and Vascular Surgery have a

    multidisciplinary character, and provide a unique forum for discussing critical issues concerning

    the management and care of all vascular patients. Furthermore, MLAVS has the mission to foster

    progress and mutual understanding between all professional groups dealing with vascular diseases

    in the Mediterranean region, and to promote research.

    Although the persisting economic crisis has affected the organisation of Medical Congresses, I am

    sure that the efforts of the Organising Committee as well as the beautiful environment of Palermo

    will ensure an active participation.

    On behalf of the Executive Board of the Mediterranean League of Angiology and Vascular Surgery I

    wish you a very productive and pleasant Meeting.

    Lets meet in Palermo in 2014!

    SALVATORE NOVO, CHAIRMAN OF THE CONGRESS Dear Colleagues and Friends,

    It is a great pleasure to welcome You in Palermo, to participate in the XXIV Congress of the Mediterranean

    League of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (MLAVS) in conjunction with the 1st Meeting of the Multinational

    Chapter of the International Union of Angiology A multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular diseases,

    that will be held in the Didactic Centre of the University of Palermo, from October 2nd to 5th, 2014.

    The beautiful town of Palermo has been selected several times as a meetings venue for cardiovascular

    specialists coming from different European countries: March 2000 XII Meeting of the Working Group on

    Peripheral Circulation of the European Society of Cardiology; September 2005 15th Congress of the

    Mediterranean League of Angiology and Vascular Surgery; October 2009 18th Congress of the European

    Chapter of the International Union of Angiology, jointly organized with the 19th Congress of the

    Mediterranean League of Angiology and Vascular Surgery (MLAVS).

    Now is the first time that scientists coming from all over the world meet in Palermo for a Meeting really

    different from the previous ones, having the peculiarity to see the field of cardiovascular disease form an

    interdisciplinary point of view.

    On this aspect the first announcement contains a very large list of topics useful for the preparation of

    scientific contribution from people wishing to participate and actively contributing to the scientific

    programme of the Congress with oral communications or posters as well as for the special sessions devoted

    to the competition for IUA prizes.

    We hope to receive also your suggestions for Symposia, Debates, Workshops, How to Sessions, Pro and Con

    Sessions, Lecture by the members of the Boards of the International Union of Angiology and by world-wide

    scientists actively involved both in cardiovascular disease as well as in clinical and experimental research.

    The Congress is aiming to present and debate the most recent experiences and researches in the field of

    cardiovascular diseases between angiologist, cardiologist, diabetologist, specialists in internal medicine and

    geriatrics, haematologist, radiologist, vascular surgeon, biologist and genetist, as well as young post-

    graduating doctors in these disciplines and nurses, so to have a multiform and attractive scientific

    programme.

    Moreover, we hope that people coming from other countries as well as from different regions of Italy can

    find attractive and interesting also the history and the monuments of Palermo, with its mosaic of art and

    culture.

    With the auspices to have soon the opportunity to meet You in Palermo,

    Sincerely Yours.
