Welcome From Dr. Frank J. Veith

Listen to an interview of Dr. Frank Veith on worldwide BBC Radio about vascular surgery, his career and the VEITHsymposium.

I would like to express a warm welcome to members of the press who will be attending the 36th annual  VEITHsymposium™ for Vascular & Endovascular Issues, Techniques and Horizons at The Hilton Hotel in New York City. Wednesday, November 18 - Sunday, November 22, 2009.

Now entering its fourth decade, VEITHsymposium™ has been the epicenter of physician education for the global vascular community. This international congress attracts over 2,000 thought leaders in the field. Over 400 international clinician/educators present the latest topics, advances and data and then validate concepts through the dynamic interactive faculty/audience exchange that ends each session.Topics relative to carotid stenting, updates in carotid stenting trials, the latest data on EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysms, endovenous management of venous disease, cutting edge technology to treat deep venous thrombosis, wound care and so much more will be discussed.

Significant newsworthy progress has occurred in the understanding and management of vascular disease. Our faculty presenters will be available in our press suite to address the progress being made in the diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, pharmacological, technological and political arenas. The VEITHsymposium™ is honored to have been a witness to and an integral part of this progress and we appreciate your coverage and time.  

I sincerely appreciate your interest and look forward to seeing you November 2009 in New York.

Cordially,

Dr. Frank J. Veith
