Objectives

This exclusive workshop is designed for interventional neuroradiologists seeking to refine and expand their expertise in advanced liquid embolization strategies. Over two highly interactive days, participants will explore contemporary and evolving applications of liquid embolic agents across complex neurovascular pathologies. The format is deliberately case-driven, fostering dynamic exchange and practical insights in a collaborative environment. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own challenging cases for discussion.
