Microcatheter embolisations

special focus: particle embolisation

Course objective:
The training course is designed to train microcatheter and embolisation particle handling during vascular embolisation for various indications. Modern Interventional Radiology has become excessively demanding with an increasing need for the use of advanced microcatheter and embolisation techniques in a broad range of indications from acute bleeding in emergency cases via chemoembolisation of complex malignancies to gynaecologic embolic management of uterine fibroids. The training course consists of two dominant parts: first, an interactive teaching and lecturing day will provide the necessary insights into materials and techniques available, as well as evidence, indications, patient management and challenging cases. With this theoretical fundament, the second day will take place in the large animal lab providing each participant with the opportunity to practically train microcatheter and embolisation techniques from particles to liquid glue.



Availability:
