An exciting ISSVA 2026 in Philly: 100 oral presentations on vascular anomalies, numerous posters, and intense discussions during sessions, breaks, poster walks and sponsored sessions. A great keynote by Taija_Makinen. A touching tribute to the late founder of ISSVA, John Mulliken, underscoring his message for curiosity, accuracy, compassion, and collaboration. #VASCERN and #VASCA also present. Looking forward to ISSVA Debates Dublin 5-7 May 2027. #VASCAPA #RADIORG #HEVAS #CMTc #uclouvain #ISSVA

What a beautiful, heartfelt day of remembrance in honour of Dr. John B. Mulliken. Colleagues, patients, and friends came together to share their treasured memories of our dearly loved JBM. In tribute, Harvard Medical School lowered its flag at the Medical Quad to half-mast, a touching gesture reflecting the profound impact he had on so many lives.
