WELCOME ADDRESS

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to the 14th congress of the Vascular Access Society, which will take place in Padova (Italy) on April 3–5, 2025!

Vascular Access Society (VAS) is a multidisciplinary society of vascular access experts – nephrologists, vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, dialysis nurses and technicians, angiologists etc. Vascular access complications are the frequent source of dialysis patients’ morbidity and without a vascular access, hemodialysis is simply impossible. This is why the vascular access research grows exponentially.

VAS congresses cover always the current state of the art, which is increasingly difficult for individual experts. We believe that the majority of you experienced the same feeling during the previous VAS congresses (Barcelona, Prague, Istanbul, Ljubljana, Rotterdam, Berlin-virtual and Porto).

Padova is the perfect destination for congresses, meetings and events. The city has been awarded its second UNESCO World Heritage seal for “Padova Urbs picta”. Padova is strategically located in the center of the Veneto region and it is easily accessible by car, train and plane.

Dear friends, keep the date April 3–5, 2025 free for the 14th VAS congress.

See You in Padova!

Maurizio Gallieni
Congress Chairman
