Course objective: Conquering vascular malformations is somewhat the holy grail of the interdisciplinary interventional community. Vascular malformations can be extremely demanding to manage and although  non-malignant, they are frequently associated with hereditary syndromes, aggressive growth and a tendency to recurrence despite all preventing efforts. In addition, vascular malformations are rare and their individual properties make each of these tumours unique. The key to success for each interventionalist is in-depth knowledge, experience in microcatheter techniques and the use of liquid embolics. Among those, Onyx® embolisation has proven to be a popular choice. 

In this training course, participants will not only gain theoretical knowledge of the appropriate diagnosis and classification of vascular malformations and AVMs in particular, but also valuable hands-on experience. Divided into small groups, participants train the use of Onyx and sclerosants using a large animal model. To incorporate the theoretical knowledge into a clinical setting, real clinical cases will be discussed and two AVM embolisation cases will be observed.

Major target group:  Interventional Radiologists with experience in microcatheter and embolisation techniques, as well as their “team mates” from their home institution
This course can be adapted to individual needs of e.g. hospitals and practitioners.
