Kongressdetails

Alfried-Krupp-Krankenhaus, Essen

We are pleased to welcome you back in Essen. We are again planning a combination of live cases, presentations and discussions. Live cases will go throughout the whole field of intracranial endovascular therapy including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, dural fistulae, intracranial stenosis and of course treatment of acute stroke by thrombectomy, according to the acute requests that we may receive within these 3 days. We will therefore keep the possibility to disrupt live cases or presentations at any time if an acute stroke is to be treated. We wish to share our ideas on the endovascular management in demanding situations where new technical developments have been replacing the conventional treatment modalities.

We found several new important developments in the treatment of arteriovenous malformations and will expose in a special video session the interest of staged venous embolizations and also the technique of transnidal catheterization to get an antegrade arterial access to retrograde arterial feeders fed in by collaterals.

To further promote transvenous access in AVMs, we will not only transmit from our cathlabs in Essen but also from Limoges in France with the participation of Charbel Mounayer.
