an Era of Modern Technology. Thus our main theme: “Formulating a new Era of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery in Asia” suits best as we comb new grounds and face new challenges. The 2009 annual meeting of ASCVTS will bring together prolific results for greater advancements in our field.
An intensive range of topic has been lined up to enhance the practical value of the program. Key highlights will include workshops and review courses for surgeons in training. We strongly encourage the participants to take advantage of this special occasion to renew contacts, exchange ideas and results of the latest development, more importantly, collaborate in clinical work, research and clinical trials.
One should not miss this valuable opportunity of the one-day postgraduate course organized and conducted by the American Association for Thoracic Society (AATS) during the Annual Meeting. All instructors and lectures are amongst the top of the North America.
There will also be a trade exhibition displaying latest pharmaceutical products and medical equipment in the area of Cardiovascular Society and Thoracic Surgery.
For the delegates from afar, we invite you to have a good time in Taipei, a city of diversity. Exciting activities are lined up for your discovery – experience a unique fusion of Taiwanese-Chinese cultural lifestyles; Feel the antique beauty of Palace Museum and the highness of 101 building, one of the world renown high-rises; Enjoy the world top gourmet of Taiwanese cuisine. The list of unique things you can discover and experience here is endless.
With open arms and warm regards, we look forward to welcoming to Taipei in March, 2009.
