Message from the President:

 

Dear colleagues,

 

For the first time since it was created in 2004, the Euro-Asian Bridge Society of Cardiac Surgeons will hold its 12th annual meeting in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

 

The congress provides a European, Asian and worldwide exchange of ideas, research and approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

The scientific program includes the traditional plenary session of adult and congenital cardiac surgery, as well as symposia, free paper sessions, scientific films and technical exhibits.

 

For the first time, we will open our meeting to our friends, the cardiologists so as to share with them experiences in the same field.

 

Besides the scientific meeting, a social program for the participants and spouses will give them the opportunity to discover Lebanon with the abundance of its archeological sites, medieval cities, excellent gastronomy and extraordinary nightlife.

 

I am certain that during this event Lebanon will charm you and prove that it is able to provide the  ``quality by friendship  ``

 

Georges TEDY

President of the Euro-Asian Bridge Society
