Past Meetings of PSCVTS The PSCVTS has always made very hard efforts to arrange some of the best meetings of its members. It was vision of the founders that there should be regular annual meetings. These meetings are manadatroy according to the by-law of the society. Each annual meeting is expected to be accompanied by a Conference with a robost scientific session. Traditonally, an Internal Conference is held Biennially. There has been some difficulties to organize Biennial Conferences in time due to scurity issues in the country. Nevertheless the leaders of society have always managed to hold these Biennial Conferences despite all the difficulties. The PSCVTS does have the honour of hosting the 14th Biennial Meeting of the Association of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeons of Asia (ATCSA) in Lahore in 1999. The meeting was held under the convenorship of Prof. M A Cheema who was elected to be the next President of ATCSA. It was wonderful experience for all the young cardiac surgoens of Pakistan to find the inernational authorities of cardiac surgery with them.
