Dear Friends

It is a pleasure to invite you to the upcoming 21 st World Congress of the International Union of Angiology, organized in Rome, Italy, on May 22-26, 2004. Professor Salvatore Novo, Congress Chair and President-Elect of the Union has invited a world class faculty of international experts in vascular medicine and biology, interventional radiology, cardiology, vascular and endovascular surgery to participate in this important event. Professor Antonio Strano has been selected Honorary President and Professor Claudio Allegra will serve as Vice-President of the 21st World Congress.

Delegates from all corners of the world will travel to Rome in May of 2004 to learn the latest advances in vascular research and therapy. The International Union of Angiology has grown considerably in the past two years and we are stronger today than anytime before. Members of the Union include over 1500 physicians, surgeons and scientists from different specialties, who investigate or treat vascular disease. The IUA today is a multidisciplinary, international umbrella organization of vascular specialists.

I have no doubts that this will be a most productive and successful world meeting where a strong scientific agenda will be combined with a most enjoyable social program. We will have the chance to discover the beauty and magic of Rome, one of the greatest cities of human civilization.
