The 45th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Phlebology

We are pleased to announce that the 45th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society for Phlebology (JSP) will be held at the Art Hotel in Asahikawa City for two days from July 17.

Recent developments in phlebology, particularly in the field of therapeutic devices, have been remarkable, and many new therapeutic devices have been introduced in Japan. In addition, our society has issued several original guidelines and has worked to promote the spread of appropriate treatment. We have chosen the theme of “A New Era in Phlebology” for this year's academic meeting, sensing that such a major wave of change is coming. As a new door in the field of phlebology is about to open, I hope that this conference will be a good opportunity for us to share the latest information and learn about new treatments. On the other hand, even with the progress of devices, the basics of venous disease treatment remain unchanged: compression therapy. As a society, we would also be happy to discuss the results of our efforts to standardize compression therapy and treatment of venous stasis ulcers.

We have been able to invite renowned professors from all over the world, including Europe, the United States, Asia, Africa and South America, so we are expecting that the world’s top experts in the field of phlebology will gather in Asahikawa and they make it a very exciting place!
The International Session will also be held as usual. We hope that many people from overseas will give presentations and that we will be able to have even more meaningful international exchanges than last year.

We hope that many people will come together in Asahikawa at the best time of year to enjoy the nature and discuss the new era of phlebology!
