PSVES GOES TO NEW YORK

Dr. Mark Lim, Dr. Jeffrey Ang, Dr. Frank Veith and Dr. Joy M. Gali

New York, New York - To disseminate knowledge and provide education of vascular surgery through international and national scientific meetings, a small delegation of PSVES members went to attend the 45th Annual Vascular and Endovascular, Issues, Techniques and Horizon (VEITH) Symposium.  It was held last November 13 - 17, 2018, at the Hilton Midtown Hotel in New York.

Dr. Joy M. Gali and Dr. Jose Parodi

Said to be one of the largest gatherings of vascular specialists around the globe, it was considered as the "Mecca" in management of vascular diseases.  There were over 1,000 presentations delivered by experts in the field of bio - engineering, pharmacology, radiology, vascular and endovascular surgery, to name a few.  Each presentation which was packed with insights was delivered within a 5-minute time frame.  The topics ranged from new concepts about vascular disease, advanced and innovative ways of diagnosing and managing them.   The topic about governing vascular surgery and its independent specialty was also tackled.  The bigwigs of Vascular Surgery were there to attend the forum. This included Dr. Frank Veith himself, Dr. Jose Parodi, Dr. Wesley Moore, to name a few.   

  

The successful five – day symposium indeed provided a productive venue for exchange of ideas among its participants.  It indeed achieved its goal, "Connecting the Vascular Community."
