Prostate Embolisation, Paris/FR, March 7-8, 2019

In prostate artery embolisation microspheres are used to block the blood supply to the prostate in order to improve lower urinary tract symptoms caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia. This procedure has been gaining popularity in recent years, as patient benefits have already been shown in short- and mid-term results. Despite the fact that until now PAE has been mostly used for patients who are unsuitable for surgery, it has the potential to become an alternative for many other patients, such as younger patients with BPH and LUTS wishing to avoid surgery, and patients suffering from chronic indwelling urinary catheter.

Physicians taking part in this year’s ESIR course on prostate embolisation organised by Prof. Marc Sapoval at Hôpital Européen Georges Pompidou will learn about patient selection (taking into account factors such as the vascular anatomy of the prostatic gland, the mechanism of urinary obstruction, when to perform a biopsy, etc.), technical aspects (use of cone beam CT, catheter, guidewire and embolic agent selection, etc.), clinical results and follow-up.

The theoretical part of the course will be complemented by two live cases moderated by expert panellists.

Please note that this course is aimed at interventional radiologists. To further multidisciplinary team building, interventional radiologists may attend these courses together with a urologist colleague from the same hospital under the registration type “Team Fee”. Note that no urologist coming on his/her own will be accepted for registration.

PAE SIMULATOR TRAINING

As an additional feature of the course, participants will be able to improve their skills on the latest prostate embolisation simulation technology during training sessions taking place throughout the two days.

These training sessions will run parallel to several sessions in the scientific programme and attendees will be able to participate in groups to learn more about the challenging procedure.

Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis. Register now to participate in these popular training sessions!
