14th Munich Vascular Conference (MAC)

14th Munich Vascular Conference (MAC) is organized by Wikonect GmbH and will be held from Dec 04 - 05, 2025 at TUM University Hospital Rechts der Isar, Munich, Bavaria, Germany.

Description:
The MAC has always been a forum for robust discussions, and I am proud to share that this tradition will continue. The symposium will cover a comprehensive range of vascular diseases, offering an opportunity for both clinicians and researchers to benefit from the wealth of knowledge shared. The scientific program for the 14th MAC will feature world-class speakers and key opinion leaders in the fields of arterial and venous diseases, as well as experts in artificial intelligence and digital vascular medicine. Our focus will span critical aspects of endovascular and open surgical procedures, along with the best medical treatment options for vascular patients.
