Dearest colleague,

The recently organized 16th European Vascular Course (EVC) was considered a great success and granted the best ever. It has become obvious that EVC is an educational event where learning and training are the leading issues. During EVC, more than 400 participants registered for the EVC on-line community and competed in the electronic quiz. The final winner was Dr Drazen Popovic from Slovenia, who received a brand new IPad3.

The 17th EVC will be organized on March 10-12, 2013 in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Besides the expert lectures and the high quality textbooks, we will organize open surgical, endovascular, venous and vascular access master classes in the training facilities and the University hospital (across the street). The successful case discussion sessions will be extended and also organized within the venous program.

Looking forward to host you (again) in March 2013 in Maastricht!

On behalf of all EVC directors, 

Michael Jacobs
