Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I would like to invite you to the 2^nd VERTIGYŐR congress, which will take place on 4-5^th November 2019 in Győr, Hungary. It is a great pleasure to announce it as an international congress for the first time.

More information about conference here

The participants of this event can update their knowledge with new informations on the physiological function of the vestibular system. Furthermore, they can also hear about long forgotten works of important vestibular researchers.We place a special emphasis on the emergency care of dizziness. Bedside otoneurological examination methods with and without equipment and the medical, surgical and the physiotherapy of dizziness will all be important features of our congress.

This event will be held in the historical city centre of Győr, (located between Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna) where in the labyrinth of the small streets not only cultural but culinary experiences will await the attendees.

Last but not least, I would like to invite you with the words of our guest of honour, professor David Zee: „Let’s make nystagmus great again!”

See you in Hungary!

Dr. László T. Tamás

Dear colleagues and friends!

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to an exceptional aortic meeting with a focus on aortic arch – the Lugano 2019 AORTIC Summit – in an entirely new format to intensify knowledge upon aortic pathology and its various treatment modalities being available today. This summit is a practical and logical consequence of the consensus paper on the Aortic Arch, which was a common achievement by both scientific societies ESVS and EACTS.

Understanding the disease forms the basis, being familiar with the treatment options available enlarges the armamentarium and being able to implement them into clinical practice gives the freedom and the flexibility to offer sustainable personalized solutions to treat patients with acute and chronic thoracic aortic pathology in an aortic team.

While it is the mission of the Aortic Association to reduce the burden of aortic disease by education, training and advancing knowledge taking the entire organ aorta into account, we will focus on acute and chronic thoracic aortic pathology involving the aortic arch.

During this course, you will be taken on a journey through the aortic arch and its major branches sharing expertise with a world-renown faculty and you will have the opportunity to practice during numerous workshops addressing both open surgery and endovascular therapy.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Lugano.
