Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the 2nd International Meeting on Vascular Dysplasias which will take place on 1-3 October 2009 in Vilnius, Lithuania. The meeting is organized by Lithuanian Society of Vascular Surgery and Vilnius University. 

The 1st International Meeting on Vascular Dysplasias was held in 2004 in Vilnius and it was a great success. Many famous specialists and important speakers from many European countries took part in this scientific event. Therefore the organizers are encouraged to organize the 2nd International Meeting which will focus on the most important issues on vascular dysplasias. It will be an excellent possibility to share ideas, experience and recent scientific achievements, also to have a nice time together, old and new friends.

Vilnius, the historical capital of Lithuania dating back to the 14th century, has the most beautiful and the largest old town, awarded with the status of World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO, with Vilnius University being the oldest one in Eastern Europe. It is rapidly expanding as a modern European capital, so you can experience the harmony of the old and the new Vilnius. For the participants of the meeting this will provide beautiful atmosphere and the mood for work and friendship.

We look forward to welcoming you to Lithuania celebrating its Millenium in 2009, and to Vilnius, Cultural Capital of Europe - 2009!

Prof. V. Triponis
The Chairman of the Organizing Committee
