Selamat Datang...
Welcome to Malaysia!

The Malaysian Society of Interventional Radiology and the College of Radiology, Academy of Medicine of Malaysia are honoured and privileged to play host for the 8th Asia Pacific Congress of Cardiovascular & Interventional Radiology (APCCVIR) in Kuala Lumpur.

On behalf of the Organising Committee, it is my great pleasure to invite you to the Meeting which will be held from 9th – 12th June 2008. This congress is organised under the umbrella of Asia Pacific Society of Cardiovascular & Interventional Radiology (APSCVIR) and it is co-sponsored by the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) and the Cardiovascular Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE).

The 8th APCCVIR is held in conjunction with the 31st Annual Scientific Meeting of the College of Radiology as well as the EINR III 2008 (Endovascular and Interventional Neuroradiology Symposium).

Our aim is to promote vascular, neurovascular and interventional radiology in the Asia Pacific region; to keep local and regional medical fraternities abreast of the latest developments, applications and treatment options; to enhance the collaboration among the Asia-Pacific interventionalists, as well as to provide a platform for the regional and world experts to share their experiences and to promote networking. There will be live case demonstrations and numerous workshops catering to the needs of a diverse group of interventionalists, physicians, surgeons, endovascular specialists, nurses and paramedics.

Visit Malaysia

We do hope you will be able to join us in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for this exciting Congress. Kuala Lumpur is a bustling metropolis endowed with a diversity of cultures, traditions and entertainment. Experience its alluring wonders - world-class landmark (the breath-taking and towering Petronas Twin Towers), charming heritage buildings, delectable cuisines, colourful night markets, excellent golf courses, bewildering range of shopping delights and classy brands, and pulsating night life.

Out of KL, the historical sights and attractions, exhilarating eco-adventures including caving (especially the World Heritage Site of Mulu Caves in Sarawak), exploring the world’s oldest rainforests and many other activities await you. Sample the glorious aromatic taste of the king of fruits, the durian, if you dare, or go on a night excursion to watch the glimmering fire-flies at Kuala Selangor. If you are a diving enthusiast, Malaysia offers one of the best dive destinations in the world with the richest marine environment in the Indo-Pacific Basin. For a spectacular diving experience, head to Sipadan Island, billed as the watery Garden of Eden featuring an astounding abundance of vibrant and beautiful coral growth, as well as exotic marine life rarely rivaled anywhere else.

Last of all, meet the warm and friendly people here. Bursting with colour, pulsating with life, Malaysia awaits you.

See you in June 2008!

We look forward to welcome you to the 8th Asia Pacific Congress of Cardiovascular Interventional Radiology and hope you will have a ‘truly Asian experience’!
