It is my pleasure to invite you to this exciting bi-annual meeting. In keeping with the tradition established during our two previous symposia, we will endeavour to create an interactive environment to allow delegates and faculty to review important areas in aortic pathology and advances in surgical and endovascular management.

The broadcast of live cases has been a key feature of these symposia in the past. This year we will seek to improve the learning experience and discussion by using pre-recorded procedures with focus on specific aspects of the planning, performance and outcome of the interventions. A distinguished faculty of international repute will be participating in these exciting discussions.

The symposium will also contain a number of lectures reviewing key aspects and recent developments in this field as well as presentation of selected abstracts.

We hope you are able to attend this symposium to share your experience and contribute to the discussion and debate. Your visit to Liverpool will also give an opportunity to explore the changing landscape of the city which has undergone substantial development in its 2008 year as the European Capital City of Culture.

We look forward to welcoming you to Liverpool.
