SiNNI
Neurovascular Course
The treatment of neurovascular diseases has greatly increased over the last several years, in major part due to the unprecedented expansion of endovascular techniques, requiring highly specialized knowledge and skills. The rapid advancements in endovascular techniques, devices, and technologies demand continuous education to ensure that practitioners of this subspecialty are equipped to provide the best possible care. In Southeast Asia, there is a pressing need for advanced neurovascular education to address the region’s specific healthcare challenges.
The Course Objective is to provide the participant with a deep understanding of neurovascular anatomy, practical clinical management of neurovascular disease, details of different endovascular techniques and devices. Through case-based discussions and hands on practice, participants will gain insights into the management of complex neurovascular conditions, preparing them to excel in their clinical practice. This course would also allow for an excellent opportunity for participants to connect with peers and experts in the field of neurovascular intervention.
The Target Audience is mainly intended for neurointervention fellows or already practicing neurointerventionists who are early in their career, background of whom can be from the fields of Neuroradiology, Neurology or Neurosurgery.
