About Study Course
Objective
To ensure acquisition of theoretical knowledge and practical skills of brachiocephalic artery diseases, their radiological diagnosis and endovascular treatment.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Upon completion of this course, the resident acquires theoretical knowledge of the brain protection devices used in invasive radiology during percutaneous carotid artery intervention. Will know the existing algorithms for the treatment of carotid arteries in both symptomatic and asymptomatic diseases.
Skills
1.Demonstrate technical competence in performing invasive manipulations in the carotid arteries – use of balloon angioplasty, stents, stent-prostheses, use of intravascular protective devices of the brain.
Competences
1.At the end of the course, the resident will be able to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the treatment of carotid artery diseases, will be aware of possible complications, will be able to diagnose and treat them.
