Endovascular and Vascular Techniques for Senior Residents

This is an invitation-only comprehensive, hands-on learning experience to familiarize senior neurosurgical residents with the basics of endovascular and cerebrovascular neurosurgery, including carotid aneurysm, endarterectomy, AVM surgery and bypass techniques. Residents will learn the basics of arterial and venous femoral access for cerebral angiography and perform these techniques with animal, cadaver and simulator models. Residents will discuss practice models and when to appropriately use open versus closed techniques.
