Dear colleagues,

We are waiting for you at the East Meets West Congress 2023!

Last year’s edition enjoyed a very high national and international appreciation.

The sixth event of this kind organized in Central and Eastern Europe is fully supported by ISEVS – the Society of Endovascular Specialists of the USA and Europe, in partnership with SRCCMI – the Romanian Society of Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery.

EMW2023 will take place in Bucharest on 27 and 28 October, at the InterContinental Athenee Palace Bucharest.

We are inviting you to this special event, the only one of its kind, that brings together so many international personalities in Romania, so we encourage you to send your abstracts by 15 September 2023.

The works presented will benefit from the recognition of international leaders in the field and beyond.

Why attend the Congress? Because the idea of the event itself started from the desire to create a different setting for my colleagues from Romania, a setting that would bring Romanian specialists face to face with world-class key opinion leaders in the field, all together HEART SPECIALISTS at the same table.

They will share their knowledge and opinions, but also their “professional secrets”. And we assure you that they are not few. State-of-the-art techniques and technologies will be presented globally, our partners, the vast majority, are major companies from America, Europe, and all the information at the event will surely help you in treating your patients. At the same time, EMW2023 will encourage a creative exchange of ideas and learning experiences for everyone! Registered attendees will have the opportunity to network directly with faculty members. Also, exhibitors from the medical industry will present new discoveries in the field and talk about new technologies.

And we also promise you that East Meets West 2023 will be a unique event for us, for Romania, thanks to the distinguished personalities who honour us with their presence – faculty members from the International Society of Endovascular Specialists from the USA and Europe who have agreed to be with us and to support us in our common endeavour – excellence in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. We all face challenges and difficult situations in our professional lives every day. EMW2023 aims to come to the aid of those who want to always learn, who aim for a career of international success.

Knowledge has no borders, and the opportunity to meet in an open, neutral environment, regardless of nationality and professional level, should not be missed.

Prof. Univ. Dr. Victor Costache and Prof. Univ. Dr. Horațiu Moldovan.
