Acute catheter interventions will change the way we treat stroke!

Over the last 12 months, several randomized clinical trials have clearly demonstrated that embolectomy is superior to lysis. We are facing a similar situation as with acute myocardial infarction years ago, when intravenous lysis was replaced by acute PCI. There are similarities regarding logistics and some technical aspects but also very important differences, which we will discuss at ICCA Stroke, the leading conference focusing on endovascular stroke treatment.

You are invited to join leading experts and pioneers in stroke intervention, who will guide you through the different aspects of stroke treatment: background, imaging, indication, how to do it, post-procedural care as well as avoiding and managing complications.

Learn from leading interventional stroke centers and our multidisciplinary faculty and get to know the newest devices for catheterbased treatment in acute stroke.

Please register early as the number of participants is limited.
