Dr Michel Perrin’s obituary

Abstract

I had personally occasion to meet Hugo some 25 years ago in Sydney (UIP world congress), when he showed a great attention towards some “innovative“ anatomical and hemodynamic aspects of chronic venous diseases which were presented by some of us. After becoming UIP president, his curiosity and open-minded attitude towards the proposals aimed at advancing the science of phlebology, led him to organise a number of consensus conferences on several topics.
