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 great #ESVM (#European Society of Vascular Medicine) and #VASCERN session in Lausanne. Interesting discussions with colleagues including Guillaume Jondeau, Isabelle Quéré, and Tristan Mirault, and Julie Hallac and Roberta Armignacco from the coordination team. And for networking, a visit to the #Olympic Museum. Looking forward to follow-up all the action points. VASCAPA.asbl #hevas Lex Heijden Cmtc-ovm #radiorg #EURORDIS de Duve Institute #uclouvain #ISSVA

Congratulations, Emmanuel, on this online publication showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted to patients' needs. Most #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations benefit to some extent, and many experience significant #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. This is a big step forward in the #multimodal management of vascular malformations. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #WELRI #ISSVA #EVDays #deduveinstitute #Leducq #Radiorg #Eurordis #Lymph

So great 2 days at the #French Society of #Lymphology 2025 in Toulouse on lymphatic malformations, lymphoedema and lipedema. Illustrative presentations, pertinent questions and collegial discussions.
