1st International CIRC Meeting

From October 13-14, 2010 the first CIRC-Meeting has taken place in Istanbul/Turkey under the chairmanship of Prof. Hugo Partsch and Prof. Semih Barlas.

More than 100 participants from over 20 different countries joined this conference to exchange their experience and innovations in the field of venous and lymphatic diseases.
The scientific programme was devided into two parts.

 


 

2nd International CIRC Meeting

From 18th to 19th November 2010, the second International CIRC Meeting took place under the chairmanship of Prof. Hugo Partsch.

During this very interesting Meeting the participants founded the interdisciplinary and international working group "Sports and Compression".

 



3rd International CIRC Meeting
The primary goal of this 3rd CIRC Meeting was to exchange ideas concerning the management of  chronic oedema on an interdisciplinary basis. 
Under the scientific chairmanship of Prof. Hugo Partsch, the opinion leaders and experts were sharing their experiences how frequently compression devices need to be replaced in chronic oedema.

In the lively discussion, Dr. Attilio Cavezzi presented his recommended compression system with struva stockings after ablation of varicose veins, Dr. Jean-Patrick Benigni his experiences in venous leg ulcers treatment and Prof. Cees Wittens after bypass procedures.
Finally, the lymphology specialists Dr. Franz Schingale and Dr. Robert Damstra reported about  their compression experience  in lymphoedema management as well as after liposuction.

At the end of the CIRC Meeting there was an international brainstorming about safety features, the frequency  of renewing  compression devices as well as requested new products and necessary clinical trials and studies.
