Dear colleagues,

We can now provide the whole of the CX 2015 Main Programme and details of many of the CX Parallel Sessions. I am pleased to draw your attention to the colour-code system used at “CX at a glance”. Instantly, it can be seen that in the Main Programme traditional topics are followed: Peripheral on the first day, Abdominal Aortic on the second, Carotid and Thoracic on the third, and Venous on the fourth. It can also be noted that the CX Venous Workshop will take place in the gallery on Wednesday 29 April and Thursday 30 April, preceding the main session “Venous Controversies”.

The colour-code system is, as will be expected, red for aortic, blue for veins, and we have chosen purple for peripheral arterial disease, so often associated with discolouration when the circulation is poor.

We are proud to introduce for the first time the titles of presentations from successful abstract submissions selected by the CX Programme Organising Board. Prizes of £1,000 will be awarded to the paper judged to be the best by a senior vascular specialist and a further £1,000 will be awarded to the person judged to present the best trainee paper.

These abstract sessions have been allocated under the colour-code system so that those interested in aortic can see exactly where the red squares are, venous in blue, carotid in yellow and peripheral in purple.

A new entry this year is the CX Peripheral Live Cases to be led by Thomas Zeller from Bad Krozingen, Germany. The Live Cases will demonstrate techniques which will relate to what is also shown on the Main Programme. CX Edited Live Cases – Aortic is a new venture to demonstrate different thoracic and abdominal aortic technical issues. We continue to highlight imaging as being key to successful results with vascular technologies in terms of sizing, positioning and deployment. The CX Imaging Day will have presentations in the morning, followed in the afternoon by demonstrations in the Exhibition Hall. There is so much to see at Charing Cross this year that you should plan in advance which sessions you are going to attend.

On behalf of the CX Programme Organising Board, we welcome all to CX in April and look forward to seeing you.

Yours sincerely,

Roger Greenhalgh
