2 We want men to live long, healthy lives and for the blood of optimism, creativity and sacredness to flow plentiful and rich through their veins. Sacred, in fact is man, sacred is his life, sacred is his blood. May nobody waste it! May nobody contaminate it! May all care for him and love him, because in his blood resides the never-ending flow of God s love; thus, God himself! sac. prof. Luigi Maria Verzé

4 Dear Colleague, our generation have had the privilege of witnessing some of the most dramatic advancements and transformations in the history of medicine. The success of minimally invasive techniques in cardiovascular surgery is changing in an unparalleled way our approach to aortic disease. One equally great and not unexpected change has taken place in the new millennium: the realm of surgical excellence, dynamic ideas, innovation and progress has now broadened to the five continents. In a world of global challenges, healthcare is no exception, however it does have its unique features: the technological breakthroughs that only profit-driven multinational companies seem able to provide, can t replace integrity, commitment, and compassion as the driving force of our profession. This third edition of our How to do it meeting on aortic disease will bring together vascular, endovascular and cardiothoracic specialists with the anesthesiologists that make our effort possible every day. The Congress is a unique occasion for interdisciplinary discussion. Participants will meet world-class speakers from all continents, covering all aspects of open and endovascular aortic procedures. Moreover R&D delegates from industry leaders will provide first hand updates on the hottest new research projects. Experts from the four corners of the globe will share their experiences in the Special Symposium Global Thinking in Cardiovascular Surgery: East meets West for a better understanding of how the challenge of cardiovascular disease is met regardless of the boundaries of cultural, socioeconomic and geographical differences. Hands-on Workshops will provide exciting training for less experienced colleagues that are approaching new state-of-the-art endovascular procedures. We are looking forward to welcoming you to the International Congress Aortic Surgery and Anesthesia How to do it to be held on December 11 th -12 th -13 th, 2008 at the San Raffaele Scientific Institute in Milano.
