On behalf of the Baltic Society of Phlebology, I have the honor to welcome you to Riga
for the 6th International Master Course in Phlebology. The theme of this event is -- actual
endovenous techniques for treatment of venous diseases.
This course is based on the most up to date knowledges gained from two international
consensus conferences that took place in Hvar and Mainz this spring. They both were
dedicated to developing the most recent guidlines for endovenous thermical ablation
and sclerotherapy. These conferences were organized by Eberhard Rabe (Germany),
Past-President of the International Union of Phlebology, President of the German Society
of Phlebology, and Felizitas Pannier (Germany), Vice-President of the International
Union of Phlebology, took an active part as well. Thus it is my greatest pleasure that
the two of them are participating in this master course.
I would also like to point out that Lars Rasmussen (Denmark), President of the
Scandinavian Society of Phlebology, is joining us. In the recent years he has carried out
an extensive scientific research comparing various vein disease treatments. The results
of his work are often being quoted during all sorts of international conventions.
This two-day workshop is designed for the phlebologists, surgeons and vascular surgeons interested in endovenous therapies of venous diseases.
This is an opportunity to learn the most accurate and updated techniques in endovenous
therapies of venous diseases from the world leading physicians in vein care.
Two-days workshop includes the latest techniques: foam sclerotherapy and laser ablation, as well as "tips and tricks" to treat vein problems successfully.
The emphasis will be on smaller number of participants and more opportunities for
questions and discussions.
I am looking forward to seeing you during the 6th International Master Course in Phlebology and welcoming you to Riga.
