Non-vascular interventions

Non-vascular procedures are an important component of every interventional radiologist’s arsenal, and have continued to grow to include an array of skeletal and non-skeletal techniques and treatments. Many of these areas will be examined throughout the CIRSE 2021 Summit.

This year’s non-vascular program in includes a clinical evaluation course on thyroid percutaneous procedures, a workshop on abdominal and pelvic collection drainage, a two video learning sessions, a hot topic symposium on lymphatic leaks, and more!

Non-vascular procedures remain the most basic percutaneous clinical work in all hospitals. They include oncologic and non-tumorous cases, and good knowledge of how to perform them is essential for establishing a respectable IR practice. Renal and biliary procedures in adults and children, as well as interesting general abdominal, peripheric nerves and thyroid ablation lectures can be followed during the upcoming CIRSE Summit, offering knowledge on both “how to do it” and “how to avoid complications.

Don’t miss these exciting sessions!
