BRAVES is the first course entirely dedicated to venous anatomy, pathology, and endovascular therapies of the brain and spine.
Designed as an immersive and collaborative experience, it brings together international experts to explore advanced techniques, real-world cases, and hands-on training — shaping the future standards of venous neurointervention.
We are delighted to announce a brand-new course dedicated to the anatomy, pathology, and endovascular therapeutics of the cerebral and spinal venous systems.
Over the past few years, endovascular practices have evolved dramatically, extending into the cerebral venous sector. Once limited to treating dural fistulas through sinus occlusion, we now have access to—and a growing understanding of—the cortical and peri-medullary venous systems.
This exciting expansion of knowledge has enabled us to address challenging conditions such as intracranial hypertension and hypotension, pulsatile tinnitus and to position endovascular therapy at the very heart of cerebral arteriovenous malformation management—where it was once considered merely an adjunct to surgery or radiosurgery.
A thorough grasp of venous anatomy is essential for designing effective strategies to manage these often complex disorders and for minimizing therapeutic risks. The challenges are many, but mastering them means safer treatments and better outcomes for our patients.
This three-day immersive course will bring together international experts who will offer an in-depth and practical learning experience covering every aspect of these pathologies—from clinical and imaging diagnosis to advanced treatment techniques.
In addition to lectures and discussions, participants will benefit from a hands-on training session using dedicated anatomical models, allowing them to apply the concepts learned in real-world scenarios.
To ensure high-quality interaction and personalized guidance, the number of participants will be limited. This format encourages open discussion, close collaboration, and a friendly learning environment.
Join us for a unique opportunity to deepen your expertise and explore the fascinating world of the cerebral and spinal venous systems.
