Thank you very much for attending the 9th International Congress of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia/ 9th Annual Meeting of Japanese Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists which was held from September 9th to 12th in Tokyo.

Participants for the congress were approximately 730 which were more than we expected, and participants from overseas were approximately one-fourth. In addition, about 300 people took the first examination of TEE (JB-POT) and everything went well fortunately.

I greatly appreciate all your kind support.
