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 world´s 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.
Let’s 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 meeting’s 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 postgraduating 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.
Salvatore Novo
