Participations in the most important congresses:
1. XXI Congress of the European Association of Veterinary Anatomists, Lugo,
Spain, 1996.
2. Royal Microscopical Society (MICRO’96), London, UK, 1996.
3. 12th Congress of Bulgarian anatomists, Plovdiv, Bulgaria, 1995.

The fourth major accomplishments of the researcher:
1. Change in Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (NAV) in cooperation with Spanish
researchers. The main researcher was Dr. M. Stefanov. After giving the report
before the XXIst Congress of the European Association of Veterinary Anatomists,
1999, Lugo, Spain about the variability of a. rectalis media which is the most
frequently is the first branch of a. prostatica, there was a suggestion given by the
Chairman of the Subcommittee of Angiologia of NAV the report data to be
included in the Subcommittee of Angiologia in order to be viewed as a proposition
for the change in footnote #68 in NAV. The proposition has been approved in 1999
at the World Congress of Veterinary Anatomists in Lyon (France) and then it is
passed almost the whole procedure in compliance with NAV requirements. The
publication of the change in the definitive draft of NAV is made in 2005.
2. A. The method of SEM of vascular corrosion casts has been modificated. The
modification has been made with Spanish colleagues. The part including the
prostate and prostatic part of the urethra and use of post mortem material is the
special attribution of the researcher. B. New approach of corrosion casting method
was applied. The modification has been made together with Korean researchers.
3. The zonality of the blood supply of the prostate, the independent blood supply of
the two lobes of the prostate, the venous plexuses in the preprostatic part of the
urethra and around the end of ductus deferens, the beginning and type of m.
urethralis and the existence of independent arterial branch for the prostatic part of
the urethra.
4. Distribution concerning the discovery of new anatomical system as Primo
Vascular System together with international team, especially with Korean
scientists.
