Liquid & Conformable Embolics Summit 2025
February 1, 2025
February 1, 2025 | 8:30 - 11:30 am CST
Liquid & Conformable Embolics
This summit provides a comprehensive exploration of liquid and conformable embolic agents in interventional radiology. The first session focuses on material science, technical considerations, and clinical rationale for different embolic agents, including DMSO-based agents, conformable embolics, and hydrogels. The second session delves into specific clinical applications across various pathologies, from hemorrhage management to tumor embolization, concluding with practical implementation guidance.
learning objectives
Upon completion of the Virtual Summit, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate between various liquid and conformable embolic agents (including DMSO-based, hydrogel, and glue/lipiodol combinations) and develop a framework for selecting appropriate agents based on anatomical considerations, flow dynamics, and clinical endpoints.
- Evaluate the role of liquid embolics across multiple clinical scenarios, including trauma, GI bleeding, prostatic artery embolization, endoleaks, and venous disorders, while understanding the principles of combination therapy approaches.
- Master practical techniques for the safe and effective administration of liquid embolic agents through case-based learning and expert panel discussions focusing on implementation strategies and troubleshooting.
