Results of “Endovascular Aneurysms Treatment” Practical Course
A practical course on endovascular aneurysms treatment was held at the premises of the Federal Neurosurgical Center during May 16-17, 2018 with support of the “Perinatal Medicine Center”.
The course was divided into 2 parts: theory (lectures) and practice (surgeon’s show-cases).
Theoretical part consisted of some lectures presented by a neurosurgeon of neurovascular division of the Federal Neurosurgical Center Vitaliy S.Kiselev:
· “Origin and technical specifications of SQUID fluid embolizing material and micro catheter SONIC. Actual conditions of endovascular instruments in the surgery of arteriovenous malformations of brain vessels”.
· “Comparison of embolizates, micro catheters in the surgery of arteriovenous malformation of brain vessels”. Different comparative features of embolizing materials and micro catheters allowing the surgeon performing maximally safe surgery were highlighted in the report.
· “Modern approach and results of endovascular treatment of arteriovenous malformation of brain vessels”. Tactic choice of surgical treatment of patients with arteriovenous brain malformations was based on the experience of the Federal Neurosurgical Center and information from the leading world neurosurgical centers.
· “Complications in the surgery of arteriovenous malformations of brain vessels”. The report reflected possible surgical complications during endovascular surgical procedure and after that.
Practical part of the course was presented by real-time translation from the OR – endovascular embolization of arteriovenous malformation.
Arteriovenous malformation of brain (AVM) – is a vascular disease of central nervous system accompanying by formation of a glome of pathologic vessels. There is no normal capillary bed and brain tissue between them.
During the course there were 5 surgical procedures on complex arteriovenous brain malformations with transvenous and transarterial approaches with non-adhesive compositions. Specialists from Perm, Kazan, Belgorod, St.-Petersburg, Surgut and also from Armenia and Georgia were among participants of the course.
In the end of the course participants got their certificates.
