Endovascular treatment of acute ischaemic stroke

The aim of this course is to provide both the basics and latest insights in the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. A multidisciplinary faculty, consisting of several key opinion leaders, will discuss the different topics in an informal setting and provide participants with the possibility to improve their skills and knowledge. Theoretic sessions will be divided in plenary sessions and deep dive sessions.

Hands-on training sessions are an important part of the course, where technical skills can be practiced on simulators and flow models. Both stroke cases and carotid artery stenting cases will be present. Faculty members will be there to support and guide participants with each step and encourage them to engage in interactive case discussions.
