About Course
Course Overview – Flow Diversion Strategies
Advance your neurovascular expertise with this specialized course focused on the endovascular treatment of complex intracranial aneurysms using flow diversion technologies. Tailored for interventional neurologists, neurosurgeons, and neuro-interventional radiologists, this course provides a step-by-step framework for case selection, device deployment, antiplatelet strategy, and long-term management in both ruptured and unruptured settings.
Participants will gain the knowledge and technical insight to: Understand the hemodynamic principles that underlie flow diversion and how they differ from coiling and clipping strategies Select appropriate patients and aneurysm morphologies for flow-diverting stents, including wide-neck, fusiform, blister, and recurrent aneurysms Compare available device platforms (Pipeline™, Surpass™, FRED™, Silk™) and understand their design architecture and deployment nuances Develop tailored antiplatelet regimens based on patient-specific risk profiles and periprocedural timing Manage procedure-related complications, including thromboembolic events, delayed rupture, and branch vessel occlusion Interpret imaging follow-up including flow dynamics, endothelialization, and aneurysm occlusion over time Align treatment strategies with international guidelines and incorporate real-world case insights to reinforce safe and effective outcomes Through high-resolution procedural videos, interactive case studies, and faculty-guided lectures, this course empowers clinicians with practical, platform-specific fluency to safely deploy flow diverters and improve long-term neurovascular outcomes.
