Invitation
Another Phlebology
4th International Workshop
and
13th Balkan Venous Forum meeting
With the support of UIP
4-5 October 2024
Hotel Mercure Budapest Castle Hill, Budapest, Hungary
New observations and modifications in the field of phlebology
On behalf of the Hungarian Venous Forum, the Hungarian Society of Angiology and Vascular Surgery and the Balkan Venous Forum it is a great pleasure to invite you to join us at our international meeting, the Another Phlebology Symposium.
This is the 4th occasion that we are organising this stimulating meeting, getting together to discuss some fresh and useful ideas within phlebology.
The previous ones in 2014, 2017 and 2019 were very successful, and inspired us to turn this into a series of meetings in Budapest. Our aim is a little different from that of other conferences. We prefer to speak about very innovative and unknown things, rather than prove topics which have already been proved many times before. This means we would like to discuss both recent observations, works in progress without strong supportive evidence, and other things not really new, but not yet mainstream in our discipline.
At the same time, we intend to keep these presentations practical. There are ideas used only by a few colleagues, which could be beneficial for many patients. We are also looking for some non-evidence-based dogmas, and trying to get rid of them.
We are very glad that our region, which previously lagged behind western countries in terms of phlebology, has become so active and creative in the last few decades. Most of the presentations are from this region.
We are happy to award the best presentation at the end of the meeting.
We invite you to Budapest, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world. There are a lot of museums, archaeological findings, classical concerts, theatres, special Hungarian restaurants, pubs, excursions and walking tour possibilities, thermal baths, stunning view from various points of the city.
We hope you enjoy your time here!

Dear colleague you are encouraged to submit an abstract of original research paper for oral or poster presentation. If you deal with venous diseases, have personal observations, innovations, studies, experience, or special cases then the 4th Another Phlebology workshop has been arranged just for you.
We prefer works which are original and were not presented at any other meetings or not widely accepted.
We require abstracts for all presentations including invited speakers and symposium programs.
There is no limit on the number of abstracts an individual may submit.
We ask the following structure of the abstract:
The text body should be between 400 and 500 words
This can contain tables, figures and references.
Every abstract will be published in English in the Hungarian Journal of Vascular Diseases.
All presentations are included in the evaluation of the Another Phlebology Award (500 Euro), regardless of the age and degree of the author(s). This will be handed over at the end of the meeting.
Please, send your abstract to the following email address: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Deadline: 15 June 2024
All presentations are included in the evaluation of the Another Phlebology Award (500 Euro), regardless of the age and status of the author(s). This will be presented at the end of the meeting.
This award was first given at our 3rd meeting in 2019, and the winner was René Milleret.
In the evaluation, how new the information is plays an important role. For a more precise judgement we are introducing what we call the Novelty Factor:
The Novelty Factor is a new evaluation possibility from one point of view, tries to assess how innovative the topic of the presentation is. Has it already been published in other conferences, or in a journal? Does it bring a change in everyday practice? Is it suitable for a colleague to try when they get home?
Does the modification reported here cause a minor or major change in the diagnostic or therapeutic results? Or a new starting point for further research?
In the evaluation process, both the presenter and the audience will participate.
