Flow Diversion

Hands-on training for cerebral aneurysm treatment using flow diversion

learn more
This learning module is designed for:
Interventional Neuroradiologists - residents, fellows and procoring interventionalists

NV Connect training cases are designed to learn skills essential to cerebral interventional procedures. The module facilitates technical, procedural, and cognitive training and discussions in a risk-free environment for these delicate procedures.

The training cases offer the opportunity to train on a range of neuro-interventional procedures, from carotid artery and intracranial stenting to thrombectomy and aneurysm treatments (using flow diversion and coiling).

All cases provide all trainees—from beginners to advanced operators—with a risk-free opportunity to perfect both basic navigation skills and procedure-related specific skills and be well prepared before the real intervention. NV Connect also allows trainers to set specific training targets, depending on the audience, by setting up benchmarks for each case or using the predefined benchmarks that come with the cases.

The FD cases teach specific techniques for flow diversion, focusing on the basic steps of assessing the size of the aneurysm, locating landing zones, and deploying a flow diverter using the bi-manual technique for proper push and pull for optimal deployment.
