Acute ischaemic stroke intervention, Maribor/SI, December 6-7, 2023
Ischaemic stroke (thrombotic or embolic) is caused by blockages or narrowing of the arteries that provide blood to the brain, resulting in ischaemia. These severe conditions reduce the blood flow which damages brain cells. These blockages are often caused by blood clots, which can form in the brain arteries. However, they can also occur in other blood vessels in the body before being swept through the bloodstream and into narrower arteries in the brain.
The involvement of interventional radiology in the management of stroke has increased in recent years. This is mainly due to new endovascular treatment modalities such as intra-arterial thrombectomy and recanalization for ischaemic stroke. To keep the time between the onset of symptoms and the treatment as short as possible, a multidisciplinary approach of well-trained teams is mandatory.
The aim of our course is to provide physicians who are involved or would like to be involved, in stroke treatment with the most recent information about the diagnosis, treatment options and patient management. Theoretical presentations will be organised to analyse the different aspects of ischaemic stroke. A multidisciplinary faculty will discuss the different topics in an informal setting and provide participants with the possibility to improve their knowledge.
By attending the course, participants also will have the chance to participate in hands-on training sessions where they can practice their technical skills on simulators and flow models. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage with experts in interactive case discussions. Faculty members will be there to support and guide physicians through every step.
Who should attend?
The course gives experienced physicians the opportunity to fine-tune their practical skills and learn more about current treatment options for this difficult disease. At the same time, physicians with less experience in stroke management will have the opportunity to improve their knowledge.
