CONGRESS OF VASCULAR SURGEONS, PHLEBOLOGISTS
AND ANGIOLOGISTS OF UKRAINE
Dear colleagues and friends!
Greetings!
Did you know our very first event took place in Sudak (Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukraine) from June 5-7, 2008. It was a tribute to Professor I.I. Sukharev, the founder of vascular surgery in Ukraine. It was announced as the first Ukrainian Phlebological Conference –the “Sukharev Readings” (Сухаревські читання) . The arterial section was titled “Non-standard Situations in Vascular Surgery” and only 40 participants registered for that conference.

Dear colleagues, friends!
Greetings!
Time flies quickly, and, as always, at this time of year we announce a major annual event for our Ukrainian Vascular Community – UVS – and open the call for abstracts for the “Sukharevsky Readings.” Of course, we count on your active participation and support of this annual event!
For all of us, the “Sukharevsky Readings” are first and foremost a meeting of colleagues and friends with inexhaustible opportunities for exchanging interesting ideas, thoughts, and innovative approaches in the examination and treatment of our patients – it is incredible discussions and learning
And actually, it is a celebration of the Ukrainian Vascular Community!
Dear colleagues! This year has been and remains difficult for us, but at the same time, representatives of our Ukrainian Vascular Community have worthily presented the results of their work at leading forums around the world, demonstrating the unsurpassed creativity and resilience of Ukraine.
Unfortunately, our present is tragic.
Given the escalation of the military situation and the danger associated with it, we have even postponed the innovative UVS event in Odesa – the Ukrainian Venous Forum.
But, despite everything, we emphasize that the Ukrainian Venous Forum will definitely take place, and specifically in Odesa, and specifically in the format in which it was announced! The planned dates are 28, 29, 30 January 2027.
A distinctive feature of the congress has become not only the tradition of meetings, but also the changing of venues so that our vascular community could experience all the beauty and grandeur of our wonderful Ukraine.
The UVS Presidium has decided to hold the “Sukharevsky Readings” at Apartel Skhidnytsya, Skhidnytsia, Lviv region, Ukraine…
Event dates: 11–13 March 2027.
Dear colleagues! Given the certain time required for the review committee to process the submitted abstracts and to create the scientific program, we ask you not to delay in sending your scientific papers.
We look forward to receiving abstracts in the following format: “Microsoft Word editor, Times New Roman font, font size 14, line spacing 1.” Please upload abstracts and presentations (please use only Latin letters and digits in file names) via your personal account on the website https://ukr.sukharevwebinar.org by 20 December 2026.
The abstracts will be published in the journal “Clinical Surgery” or another professional publication.
