EUROPEAN VASCULAR AND ENDOVASCULAR NEUROSURGERY

SECOND LEVEL MASTER PROGRAM (Continuing Professional Development)

The endovascular treatment of cerebral and spinal vascular diseases has greatly increased over the last few years. Although the volume of open aneurysm surgery is declining, complex aneurysms still require open microsurgery, often with bypass techniques: intracranial arterial reconstructions with reimplantations, reanastomoses, in situ bypasses, and intracranial bypasses and augment conventional extracranial-intracranial techniques are increasingly used. The best vascular neurosurgeons will be needed to tackle the complex lesions that cannot be managed with other modalities.

At the same time, the unprecedented expansion of endovascular techniques has led to a need to educate neurosurgical residents in the application of endovascular therapies. The future of neuroendovascular surgery is therefore inseparable from the future of vascular neurosurgery. In fact, they are one and the same.

Residents interested in the vascular disease processes that affect the central nervous system must understand the application of neuroendovascular techniques and if they want to treat these pathologies must be adequately trained in their implementation. The ability to effectively apply or perform endovascular techniques in neurosurgical practice requires formal fellowship training.

To remain at the forefront of evaluating, caring for, and treating patients with cerebrovascular disease, vascular neurosurgery must evolve toward a specialty, mastering the knife as well as the catheter.

The Course is designed to fulfil not only educational but also caring requirements; in particular, this is focused on microsurgery or endovascular treatment of brain and spine vascular malformations.

The fellow will choose a European Hosting Center where she/he will be trained in open microvascular or neuroendovascular surgery. There will be 150 hours of theoretical lessons and simulations and 800 hours of practical training. The international faculty consists of world renowned vascular and endovascular neurosurgeons that will provide insights into their clinical activities and experiences.

The Course is targeted to Neurosurgeons interested in developing a real professional basis in the field of microsurgery and endovascular treatment of cerebral and spinal pathologies: residents in Neurosurgery PGY 4 or 5 with interest in vascular or endovascular procedures or young specialists are welcome.

The international faculty consists of world renowned vascular and endovascular neurosurgeons that will be happy to provide insights into their clinical activities and experiences. Case volume and case mix are the secrets of success because they develop experience, efficiency, and confidence: for those reasons, this CPD course program will be host in some of the best Centers in Europe.

Language: English

Start date: 1st March 2024

Location: Headquarters of the lectures will be the UniCamillus-Saint Camillus International University of Health Sciences, Rome, Italy. Some lessons can also be held online via videoconference.

Duration:
The Master’s Program lasted 12 months with 8hrs of theoretical lessons and simulators and 30hrs/week for vocational training.

Attendance mode:
The frequency of 85% of the activities included in the Program entitles you to the certificate of attendance and allows the possible recognition of 60 CFU (university formative credits) In the event of non-attendance, or other behavior that is in any case reprehensible, the Director may decide not to issue the certificate of attendance for the Advanced Training Course.

Places available:
The maximum number of participants will be 10. Could be increased, in case of new hosting Centers.
