Hands-on Workshops
A closer look at closure devices
Coordinators: S. Müller-Hülsbeck (Flensburg/DE),
J. Tacke (Passau/DE)
This workshop will deal with the use of arterial closure
devices after peripheral and prior to aortic endovascular
procedures.
An overview of currently available closure devices for peripheral
arterial and aortic interventions will be provided in a comprehensive
and balanced manner. Indications and contraindications
will be highlighted, as well as complications and how
to avoid them. Further, all relevant tips and tricks for the proper
use of closure devices during daily practice will be imparted.
By the end of the workshop all participants should be able to
understand the various principles of current devices as well as
indications. The experience will be completed by the
opportunity to test sample devices.
learning objectives
- To understand the meaning of a thorough puncture
technique for the successful use of a closure device
- To become familiar with the currently available closure
devices for peripheral and aortic interventions
- To know the clinical results, potential pros and cons as well
as complication rates

Embolization: materials and tools
Coordinators: S.J. McPherson (Leeds/UK),
E.M. Walser (Jacksonville, FL/US)
Second Announcement
These Hands-on Workshops provide an overview of current
embolization materials and techniques.
A brief introduction is followed by workshop participants rotating
around each of a series of tabletop demonstrations. Partici -
pants will engage informally with instructors and try out various
embolic materials for themselves on human and flow models.
The sessions will cover the basic principles of embolization, the
different types of embolic agents available, how to choose, prepare
and deliver an appropriate embolic agent and how to avoid
non-target embolization. The emphasis of the sessions will prima ri -
ly be a hands-on practical approach where participants can handle
and/or perform embolization with the various agents mentioned.
learning objectives
- To learn the basic principle of embolization
- To become familiar with the common embolic agent categories
- To choose an appropriate embolic agent
- To correctly use the agent chosen
- To avoid non-target embolization
