Following a brief presentation on the life of teacher/surgeon RenT Leriche (1879-1955), and a report from the European Working Group on teaching an educational program of angiology/vascular medicine in Europe, the remainder of this proceedings volume is divided into sections covering anticoagulants heparins, antiphospholipids, arteritis, atherogenese promoters and regulating hormones, cerebrovascular disease, chronic venous disease, coronary patients with multifocal atherosclerosis, early arterial wall lesions, hemorheology, hypertension, interventional radiology and vascular surgery, lymphology, microcirculation, noninvasive vascular diagnostic, space medicine, vascular malformations, and venous thrombosis.
