Distinguished Colleagues, Dear Friends,

In the past 8-10 years, ever since ‘’Heart and Health Foundation of Turkey ‘’ has started to organize the ‘’International Congress of Update in Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery (UCCVS)’’  a new era and completely new concepts  have  been developed in  modern vascular  surgery. From aneurysm and carotid to occlusive disease and varicose veins  no part of vascular surgery remains untouched by change. This paradigm shift directed  us to arrange “The International Academy of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (i-Aves )” under the umbrella of   UCCVS together with the stars of international and Turkish vascular oriented surgeons and all other related specialists.

This year as a start up project the scientific program will be organized by Prof. Piotr Kasprzak from Regensburg University(Germany) and myself as a cochairman, with a very distinguished faculty consisting many well known vascular specialists as Hazim J.Safi, Domenico Polambo, S Houlon , Lazar Davidovic, Hani Shennib, Miltiadis Matsagkas, Tulga Ulus, L Schwarz, G Hamilton, Alison Halliday, Vladislav Treska and others.

New techniques  that are performed already and we can only dream now, will all be debated at  The International Academy of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (i-Aves ) with many live transmissions from all over the world.

Join us! Imagine and let’s create “The International Academy of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (i-Aves )” with your proposals, lectures and  abstract submissions where the horizon will be scanned.

Warmest regards
Prof. Oztekin Oto, MD, FESC, FACC
Co Chairman, The International Academy of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (i-Aves )
