We are pleased to invite you to join us once again in London, UK, for the Charing Cross International Symposium 2019, the vascular and endovascular annual meeting where education, innovation and evidence merge in one place.

The CX Symposium continues its three-year cycle of raising vascular and endovascular controversies in order to challenge the available evidence and be able to reach a consensus after discussion with an expert audience.

This year, our world-class faculty focuses on the challenges facing the vascular and endovascular world today. In 2019, we introduce a new track, iWounds, including a plenary session and a hands-on workshop in the iWounds Village.

The programmes for the Aortic, Peripheral Arterial, Venous & Lymphatic, Acute Stroke, Vascular Access and Vascular Malformations have been designed in sequence rather than in parallel so that CX attendees can maximise their participation in their favourite domain.

We look forward to welcoming you to CX 2019!

Roger Greenhalgh, on behalf of the CX Executive Board

What participants say about CX

Since opening for abstracts CX has exploded and is now the most

exciting congress on vascular surgery. It attracts new talent

needed for the Faculty and makes sure CX is the most innovative

congress worldwide.

Very importantly, the data and trial results presented were

interpreted in great manner and that will help me in my routine

practice.

The hands-on activities are very valuable, as well as meeting

the experts and having the possibility to ask questions. Trial data are very useful to decide

what to use and when to use it in practice.

CX is still the best conference in the field

worldwide, by far.

CME feedback

52% of the CME delegates surveyed rated the CX 2018 programme as “excellent” and 44% said it was “good”.
