Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the Fourth VERVE Symposium.

The VERVE symposium in conjunction with LINC Australia is

committed to vascular education of the highest standard. Last

December we witnessed the third VERVE continue what has

become a dynamic era in Australasian vascular education. We

saw a number of global experts come together in Sydney to

share their tremendous knowledge and expertise.

There was world-class discussion inspired by live cases over

two and a half exciting days. These cases were interspersed

by short, sharp, practical talks designed to provide further

detail and underscore the best practice being demonstrated.

The symposium proved to be a most rewarding experience for

all of those in attendance and this year we promise to make it

even better.

In 2016 there will be more live cases, new experts from

around the world and an even broader program to

encapsulate all aspects of vascular disease. There will be

a new concurrent venous and dialysis access program

which will accommodate the interest of the vascular

community in these rapidly evolving fields and on its

25-year anniversary we will incorporate a special focus

on “EVAR-Past, Present and Future”.

Our friends from Leipzig will return to underline our strong

collaborative partnership and ensure that the LINC philosophy

is brought to our shores with seamless professionalism.

Here at VERVE we are passionate about providing a unique

vascular educational event for our region. Our course is

designed to appeal to all of those involved in the delivery of

advanced vascular care, those who wish to be exposed to

best-vascular-practice and to observe first-hand, the world’s

leading interventionists at work.

Dierk and I would love to see you this December for the latest

instalment of the high-definition VERVE Symposium. Please

join us in Sydney.

Sincerely,

Ramon Varcoe, Course Co-Director
