DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES

It is our pleasure to invite you to the 9th European  -  Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress. Preventive treatment remains one of the subjects that raises the most heated debates in the cerebrovascular scientific community, therefore this congress represents a unique opportunity to share and gather the updates on neurovascular surgery and intervention for treating AVMs, Aneurysms, Cavernomas, dAVFs, Stroke and MoyaMoya. The meeting is expected to be of value to neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, radiosurgeons, neurologists, neurocritical care specialists, and nurses. We are very much looking forward to seeing you in Milan.

Yours sincerely,

Marco Cenzato, MD | Yasuhiko Kaku, MD | Tetsuya Tsukahara, MD Davide Boeris, MD | Giuseppe Esposito, MD | Luca Regli, MD

ABOUT THE MEETING The history of the EJCVC in a few bullet points:• The European Japanese Cerebrovascular

Congress was initiated in Zurich in 2001 by Prof. Y. Sakurai and Prof. Y. Yonekawa, under the name “Swiss-Japanese Joint Conference”.

• The 2nd meeting was also organized in Zurich two years later.

• The 3rd meeting, under the name of “European-Japanese Joint Conferences for Stroke Surgery”, was held in 2006 in conjunction with the 70th Anniversary of the “Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Zurich”.

• The 4th meeting was organized in Helsinki, Finland, in 2008, with Prof. J. Hernesniemi as the Congress President.

• The 5th European-Japanese Joint Conferences for Stroke Surgery was organized in Düsseldorf, Germany, in 2010, with Prof. H-J. Steiger as the Congress President.

• The 6th meeting, under the name“European-Japanese Stroke Surgery conference (EJSSC)”, was organized in 2012 in Utrecht, The Netherlands, with Prof. L. Regli as the Congress President.

• The 7th EJSSC was held in Verona, from 25to 28 June 2014, with Prof. A. Pasqualin as the Congress President.

• The 8th meeting was held in Zurich, Switzerland in the University Hospital Zurich, under the name “European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress” (EJCVC 2016) in June 22 to 25 2016. Organizing committee was composed by: Prof. L. Regli, Dr. G. Esposito, Prof. Y. Kaku, Prof. T. Tsukahara.

• The 9th “European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress” (EJCVC 2018) will be held in Milan, Italy in the Niguarda Hospital, in June 7-9, 2018. The organizing committee will be composed by: Prof. M. Cenzato, Prof. Y. Kaku, Prof. T. Tsukahara, Dr. G. Esposito, Dr. D. Boeris.

Aims of the MeetingThis European-Japanese Cerebrovascular Congress represents a unique opportunity to gather the latest updates on neurovascular surgery and intervention for cerebrovascular diseases. The meeting is expected to be of value to neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, radiosurgeons, neurologists, neurocritical care specialists, and nurses.The key topic of the meeting is the preventive treatment of cerebrovascular diseases, namely treatment of:

• Unruptured Arteriovenous Malformations • Unruptured intracranial Aneurysm • Cavernomas • Dural Arteriovenous Fistula • Cerebrovascular steno-occlusive diseases

EJCVC also aims to facilitate networking among cerebrovascular specialists.
