About Study Course

Objective

To ensure acquisition of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms in the subspecialty of interventional radiology.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.At the end of this course, residents will know the etiology and pathogenesis and clinical symptoms of intracranial aneurysms. Differences between ruptured and non-ruptured aneurysms. Radiological diagnosis of intracranial aneurysms (DSA, MRA, CTA). The most commonly used classifications (Raymond, Hunt-Hess, GKS, MRS). Residents are familiar with the indications and contraindications for the endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Technologies used in endovascular treatment of aneurysms (platinum coils, intracranial stents, balloon-assisted embolization, flow-correcting stents extra and intrasacular devices). Indications for drug therapy and the most important drugs used (aspirin, clopidogrel, glycoprotein IIb / IIIa inhibitors, nimodipine, heparin, etc.). Arterial test occlusion and permanent occlusion. Residents are familiar with the materials and devices required for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (eg, guiding catheters, microcatheters, microstats, stents, spirals, etc.), as well as possible complications of interventional treatment (dissection, perforation, aneurysm rerupture, vasospasm).

Skills

1.Acquired skills in the endovascular treatment of intarcranial aneurysms

Competences

1.Upon completion of the course, the resident will be able to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the diagnosis and treatment of intracranial aneurysms, will be aware of possible complications, will be able to diagnose and treat them early.
