As the year comes to an end, the European Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion would like to extend warm wishes to all perfusionists and our valued partners for a joyful Christmas and a successful, healthy New Year.

This year has been marked by strong scientific progress and collaboration, with numerous high-quality publications reflecting the commitment, expertise, and innovation within our community. We were also proud to witness a highly successful Europerfusion Congress in Athens, which once again demonstrated the strength and unity of European perfusion practice.

Looking ahead, we are excited to continue building on these achievements through further collaborations, education, and research, and we already look forward to welcoming you to Europerfusion in Belgrade in 2026.

Thank you for your continued dedication and support . We wish you and your families a peaceful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
