Phebolymphology N° 42 – Préface
This report from the American Chapter Meeting of the Union Internationale de Phlébologie, San Diego, has been prepared by the members of the Medical Reporters’ Academy (MRA). This group, composed of young medical doctors selected from different European countries, was created and sponsored by Servier 7 years ago. Since then, the MRA group has been attending major international congresses in Phlebology and Angiology in order to keep specialists all over the world fully informed of recent developments in the field. Each day of the congress, all sessions are covered, and the team select the best information at evening meetings. This report is not intended to be an exhaustive account of each presentation, but much more to provide highlights on what is considered to be new in Phlebology. I wish you enjoyable reading.
