The First International VNUS-Closure Practitioners’ Meeting

The first international VNUS-Closure Practitioners’ Meeting took place on 18th and 19th April 2008 in Hamburg.

Over the two days, around 100 practitioners from 18 countries – including South Africa and the USA – took part in the operative workshops on the Friday and the academic sessions on the Saturday.

During the operative workshops at the Dr. Klapp Operationszentrum Eppendorf, Dr. med. Jens Alm successfully carried out vascular operations on ten patients.

Everyone found the exchange of experience in the academic sessions on the following day very interesting and it provided plenty of food for thought.

As a result of the participants’ enthusiasm, the second VNUS-Closure Practitioners’ Meeting is already being planned.
