Invitation

Another Phlebology

3^rd International Workshop

4-5 October 2019

Hotel Mercure Buda, Budapest, Hungary

“New and old techniques and theories outside the mainstream”

Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Budapest to participate in the 3^rd International Workshop called Another Phlebology.

We focus more on new ideas and experience than repeating well-known results. Preliminary reports can also be accepted for presentation. We are interested in resourceful tips and modifications in solving everyday problems. The aim is to support new or alternative ideas and techniques, not to denigrate them, because there have been too many misjudgements in the history of science. Discussions are encouraged.

Awards will be given for the best presentations

Main topics: sclerotherapy, foam sclerotherapy, classic, CHIVA and ablative surgery (laser, radiofrequency, steam, glue, microwave, cryo and any other techniques), aesthetic phlebology, valve issues and solutions, crural ulcer treatment

Further topics: pathophysiology and diagnostics of venous diseases, thrombosis, post-thrombotic complications and their treatment, flavonoids, compression and other conservative therapies, venous malformations, lymphoedema, different interventions and varia

What are we expecting?

• New experience with new methods
• New instruments and equipment
• My technique and modifications
• Old methods and different results
• Case reports

Some special topics of the meeting:

• experimental animal varicosity
• glue occlusion of perforator veins
• influence of pregnancy on laser crossectomy results
• new results of CHIVA surgery
• combination of laser and other methods in recurrent varicosity cases
• Palma-arch removal if iliac vein is occluded
• AV microshunts behind spider veins
• NOAC treatment problems
• what type of compression for crural ulcers
• factors for spontaneous varicose vein bleeding
• sclerotherapy of venous malformations

Experience of our former meetings: friendly atmosphere, we know each other (or will by the end of the meeting), no fear of saying something which is not accepted yet, colleagues are present who like to teach and learn new ideas, many East European colleagues, good value, not as expensive as other international meetings

We welcome both well-known experts and new colleagues from all over the world, in an exchange of scientific practice and clinical experience.

We look forward to seeing you in Budapest, which is a busy city with several faces, so you will find some ways to relax. There are a lot of museums, archeological findings, special Hungarian restaurants, folk music, classic concerts, theaters, excursions and walking tour possibilities, thermal baths, stunning view from different points of the city and pubs etc.

Usually the Parliament, the Gellert hill, the Castle district, the Opera house and the Rock Hospital are recommended, but you can find several other interesting places.
