Overview
This course for neurointerventionalists, cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeons, vascular neurologists, and scientists will provide an update on the rapidly developing field of neuroendovascular surgery and related sciences. Beginning with embryology and molecular genetics for key neurovascular diagnoses, we will then broaden our view to development in normal and disease states, implications for current treatment approaches, and research directions. Eminent faculty will teach in an informal, interactive format. In addition to lectures, there will be opportunities for one-on-one and small group mentorship as well as time for recreational activities in the lovely setting of Palm Springs.
Lecture Session Format:
Invited speakers will prepare a didactic lecture of 8-10 minutes in length, and follow this with a 5 minute case presentation that links to the concepts introduced in the lecture. In addition, each session will have an expert panel to ask questions of the speakers and foster discussion with audience participation for 8-10 minutes after each talk. At the end of each session there will be a 15-20 minute focused case presentation and discussion highlighting a clinical correlation of one or more of the topics discussed in the session, presented by the chair of
the expert panel.
Objectives
An attendee completing this course should be able to:
- Improve endovascular techniques and treatment of cerebral arteriovenous malformations and fistulas
- Incorporate the latest evidence in pathology, natural history, and treatment for central nervous system disorders
- Apply updated anatomical and pathophysiologic knowledge regarding the development of intracranial vasculature and its abnormalities to the understanding of pediatric and adult cerebrovascular disease.
- Incorporate into practice the latest techniques in the management of intracranial aneurysms
- Improve the management of acute stroke using the most up-to-date data and studies;
- Recognize and understand the nuances of surgical and interventional management in arteriovenous shunting disorders
- Improve patient outcomes through medical and surgical management of intracranial hemorrhagic disorders
- Provide modern management of cerebrovascular disorders based on current data
- Use modern management techniques in the management of team-building for comprehensive neurointerventional services
Accreditation
In support of improving patient care, the University of California, San Francisco is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
