In the year 2002 in Karpacz the 10th Jubilee Meeting of the Society took place in Karpacz that was connected with very interesting workshops concerning endovascular treatment - the workshops organized by dr A. Gussmann and dr I. Flessenkamper were supported by 5 leading companies producing endovascular equipment. Interesting conferences of the society are usually organized in June in Poland or Germany and the scientific program is not limited by the committee. The formula of the meeting concerns the exchange of the new scientific research results and experience exchange between Polish and German Vascular Surgeons. During conferences the following arguments were discussed: surgical and endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysm, infection treatment in the vascular surgery, surgery of the vein diseases, DVT treatment, surgery of the brain supplying arteries, percutaneus endovascular procedures in the treatment of peripheral artery aneurysms and chronic organ ischemia. In all the scientific sessions presented topics are discussed and this is usually continued in the unofficial part of the symposium. The exchange concerns also clinical training in medical centers of both countries.
