Objectives

This workshop is designed to provide an in-depth educational experience focused on the embolization of meningiomas using Squid 12, emphasizing case & technique selection, procedural planning, and complication management. Particular attention will be given to the specific properties of Squid 12, including its low viscosity, prolonged injection time, and controlled penetration, which make it especially suitable for tumor embolization.
