Dear colleagues and friends,

We are pleased to announce that ALICE –Advanced Live Interventional Course of Essen- is to come soon again, from the 11th to the 13th of November in Essen, Germany.

ALICE is focused on Live Case Transmissions with treatment of challenging pathologies including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and dural fistulae transmitted from 3 international centers in Spain, France and Turkey in addition to the live cases transmitted from our center in the Alfried Krupp Krankenhaus in Essen.
There have been huge evolutions in our field and many more to come. Embolization of AVM is not a palliative treatment, it has now become a curative treatment that can be achieved in the most challenging situations. The introduction of 6D imaging, staged transvenous embolization and new embolic agents have led to a complete change in understanding and in the treatment strategies. We will also be pleased to launch a new wire dedicated for AVMs, the Nexus Petit, which is the smallest microwire available in our field.

Intense discussions are planned in the stroke session with a focus on the real value of super large bore catheters, the need for distal thrombectomy and the handling of anti platelets in stroke patients
The devices used in aneurysm treatment are evoluating too with numerous new devices but also specific problems that will be highlighted such as braid deformation with flow diverters and pitfalls with softwares dedicated to implementation of intrasaccular devices.

How much is subdural embolization really needed will be another point of debate. Are we at the beginning of a new era with a huge potential for numerous additional procedures or is it just a bubble due to an excess of enthusiasm?
Our understanding of neurovascular diseases requires solid knowledges in anatomy but everything we believe to know is not correct. The special Bananaz lecture will focus this year on what we have to unlearn!
The special Jean-Jacques Merland Lecture will be focused this year on statistics that are unavoidable for scientific assumptions to be made. But we may be afraid to realize how much we believe to know is inaccurate and how to improve the quality of our results.
Another highlight will be the complication session, ALICE in trouble, with fewer cases presented in order to have more time for discussions.

Join us for an exciting event featuring interaction, latest technical developments, cutting-edge insights, and in-depth discussions on key topics with leading experts in the field.

I look forward to meet you in Essen very soon.
