ICCA Stroke, taking place on June 5 – 6 in Frankfurt, is dedicated to carotid artery stenting (CAS) and catheter-based stroke interventions – covering both the evidence and the practical skills needed to perform these procedures.

Recent data suggest that in patients with asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis, carotid artery stenting may reduce long-term stroke risk, while carotid endarterectomy has not shown a consistent advantage.

Several randomized trials have also demonstrated that catheter-based acute stroke treatment is superior to systemic lysis, and today up to 20% of acute ischemic strokes can—and should—be treated using endovascular techniques.

Despite this progress, too few interventionists are trained to perform these procedures outside major stroke centres. ICCA Stroke aims to help change this.

This two-day interdisciplinary and interactive course offers expert lectures, live and recorded cases, step-by-step procedural sessions, debates, and hands-on simulator workshops. Participants will learn patient selection, imaging, indications, procedural technique, post-procedural care, and complication management for both CAS and endovascular stroke treatment.
