Dear
Friends and Colleagues,
The MEET Congress remains the European premier multidisciplinary
endovascular gathering. Throughout the years it
has brought together vascular surgeons, interventional
cardiologists and interventional radiologists, aiming
at building endovascular synergies.
For this year’s edition we aspire to develop
our most powerful and innovative scientific program
yet. We are contented to have established the annual
joint meeting of ISES and MEET that is going to
be held for the second time on Thursday June 26th.
This course aims at summarizing and updating the
current knowledge about endovenous treatment and
abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms.
Three whole sessions on Friday and Saturday will
be focused on peripheral endovascular interventions
in the lower limbs and the renal arteries. For the
first time we will have a session entitled: “New
Frontiers in Endovascular Procedures & Structural
Heart Diseases”, chaired by Dr. Alain Cribier
and Dr. Roy Greenberg. Finally, Saturday June 28th
will be dedicated to the MEET Carotid Course that
will cover the technical and clinical aspects of
carotid stenting and the latest clinical trials.
For the first time, in parallel, we are organizing
the Nurses and Techs Course, especially tailored
to satisfy the needs of your team. We encourage
you to motivate your co-workers to attend this one-day
course on Saturday June 28th.
The MEET official language is English. Since 50
percent of our attendees are French or Italian,
we have decided to provide simultaneous translation
in French and Italian.
Finally, the education delivered during the Friday
sessions on peripheral endovascular interventions
will be developed by the MEET Combo 2008 (book &
DVD), focusing on the endovascular treatment of
lesions in lower limbs arteries and aortic
branches.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Cannes,
from June 26 to 29!
Don’t miss it!

| Educational
Objectives |
The
MEET congress has been created by interventional cardiologists,
interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons to deliver
the only multidisciplinary continuing medical education
on endovascular therapies. At the end of the MEET 2008,
delegates will:
- Have recieved an updated knowledge in new treatment
in valvular and structural heart diseases,
- Be aware of standard & new endovascular techniques
to treat carotid artery stenosis, thoracic and abdominal
aortic aneurysms, thoracic aortic dissections, lower limbs
arterial lesions and renal artery stenosis,
- Know how to manage polyvascular patients with the help
of a collegial multidisciplinary team,
- Know how to cope with vascular emergencies and when
to indicate an endovascular technique,
- Know the most recent data from national and international
trials, registries and studies,
- Be able to identify the most appropriate indications
for the most appropriate technique and device,
- Have become suitable candidates to follow practical
trainings in small audience courses,
- Be able to train themselves and practice in experts'
angio-suite, cath-lab or operating theatre,
- Know how to prevent procedural complications and how
to face unforeseen neurological or vascular complications
during carotid and aortic endovascular procedures,
- Receive didactic tools, such as the PDF copy of all
scientific sessions and the copy of the all live video
cases specially elaborated for the MEET Congress 2008,
allowing them to continue their medical education in their
everyday practice,
- Know all the necessary information to start an endovascular
program in his/her institution.
