8 May th - 4 th, 07, Makedonia Palace Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, distinguished teachers, dear guests, Welcome Addresses On behalf of the Executive Committee, it is a great pleasure to welcome you in Thessaloniki, at the 66 th Congress of the European Society for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery. The ESCVS is the oldest world organization that gathers cardiac and vascular surgeons. Namely, the ESCVS was founded in 95 and its founders were pioneers in cardiac and vascular surgery. Thanks to this congress, Greece joined the other few European countries that organized ESCVS congresses twice. As a reminder, the 54 th congress of our society has been organized in Athens in 005. Topics that are not only of great importance for our everyday practice but are also significant for innovative procedures, are scheduled in the scientific program. They will be presented by numerous well known and leading international experts in cardiac and vascular surgery, cardiovascular anesthesiology, cardiology, interventional radiology, as well as by doctors from other specialties. During this congress, we will have a few joint sessions with prestigious international societies and associations. Participants of our congress will have a chance to present their own abstracts and posters. Special attention was paid to young surgeons who will have an opportunity to attend CV resident forum, as well as very interesting competitions for the Young Cardiac and the Young Vascular Surgeon Award. This is why we believe that experienced surgeons and the young ones, as well as doctors from other fields, will be able to find topics interesting to them at this Congress. We would like to thank our hosts, Professor A. Gianoukas, Professor S. Prapas and Professor M. Matsagkas, for the well-known Greek hospitality. Collaboration with them during the past year has been a great pleasure for us. We would also like to thank all our sponsors for their support. May we have a successful congress. Still, I hope that you will able to find time to explore this beautiful city as well. Friendly Professor Lazar Davidovic President of the ESCVS th International Congress of the European Society for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery in conjunction with LIVE07 Leading Innovative Vascular Education

9 May th - 4 th, 07, Makedonia Palace Hotel, Thessaloniki, Greece Dear distinguished Colleagues and precious friends, I welcome you wholeheartedly in Thessaloniki, Greece, on the occasion of the 66 th International Congress of the European Society for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery to be held this year in conjunction with the annually organized International Leading Innovative Vascular Education (LIVE) Symposium from the Institute of Vascular Diseases, a non-profit scientific organization in collaboration with the Hellenic Society of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery and the Stony Brook University Medical Center of New York, USA. ESCVS is the oldest European Society in Cardiovascular Surgery founded in 95 from legendary figures. This society remains through the years a unique platform of collaboration and integration among the specialists in the field of cardio-vascular diseases promoting friendship, up-to-date scientific evolutions and educational opportunities among the junior doctors. Also, it is importance to note that the Annual congress of the ESCVS is organized for the second time in Greece after 005 when the 54th congress was held in Athens. Welcome Addresses This year both Congresses ESCVS and LIVE are hosting more than 00 established international scientists and experts with enormous impact in the evolution of modern Cardiac and Vascular and Endovascular practice. We have put together all our efforts in a collaborative manner to compile an interactive scientific program including the latest developments and innovations of the cardiac and vascular field by means of lectures, scientific sessions, debates, educational workshops and common interdisciplinary sessions. This year for the first time we launched a distinct session on vascular diseases in females and the topics will be presented by female distinguished vascular surgeons and scientists. Additionally, we have proposed the E. Kieffer Lecture honoring a great surgeon, teacher, friend and past president of the ESCVS who left us last year. We have received abstracts for oral and poster presentation from all around the world, which underlines the impact of ESCVS and the fact that it is the forum which brings together colleagues and friends from all continents to discuss in a friendly environment all the latest scientific advancements. Thessaloniki, the capital city of Macedonia, is a modern metropolis with cosmopolitan character and a meeting point of history and civilization with exquisite natural beauty. With these thoughts I welcome you in Thessaloniki, hoping that you will enjoy the ideal marriage of science with friendship and entertainment. With our warmest regards, Professor Athanasios Giannoukas Chair of the Local Organizing Committee 66 th International Congress of the European Society for Cardiovascular and Endovascular Surgery in conjunction with LIVE07 Leading Innovative Vascular Education 9
