Pulmonary artery interventions, Berlin/DE, September 26-27, 2024
Treatment of acute pulmonary embolism requires an interdisciplinary approach, with interventional radiology becoming more and more important with the increasing availability of suitable catheter systems for local therapy. The mechanical thrombectomy systems in particular have developed significantly in the recent past and represent a valuable alternative to lysis-based procedures. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension develops in 2% to 5% of cases undergoing conservative treatment of pulmonary embolism. Interventional radiology has sharpened its profile for this clinical picture. Pulmonary balloon angioplasty (BPA) represents a supplementary method for surgical desobliteration of the pulmonary arteries. However, a controlled recanalization of the vessels is mandatory in order to avoid major complications for the patient.
In this course, the pathophysiological basics of acute and chronic pulmonary embolism, the diagnosis, and the selection of the appropriate treatment technique are discussed. In addition to practice-oriented case studies, the participants will learn important techniques guided by experienced tutors on suitable simulators.
Who should attend?
Organized and led by renowned experts, this ESIR course on pulmonary interventions gives experienced physicians the opportunity to learn practical skills and learn more about current treatment options or both, acute and chronic pulmonary embolisms.
