The European NeuroVascular and Endovascular training Center

[Translate to Inglese:] Director Prof. Simone Peschillo

The European NeuroVascular and Endovascular Training Center is dedicated to inspiring neurosurgical trainees to reach their full clinical and academic potential.

Our mission is to deliver regular hands-on education, advanced skills training, and to provide meaningful opportunities for high-quality research.
At the heart of the Center is a cutting-edge simulation space designed to advance education in vascular and endovascular neurosurgery.
As part of an innovative initiative, state-of-the-art simulation systems for both open vascular and endovascular procedures have been fully integrated into the new facility. This unique environment is transforming how current and future specialists learn, train, and master complex surgical techniques.

The Center provides:

  • Realistic hands-on training in a fully equipped laboratory
  • Patient-specific simulations that accurately reproduce real-life clinical scenarios
  • Immersive workshops and educational programs for both trainees and experienced clinicians
  • Monthly training sessions, where interventional neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, and neurologists can practice with a variety of models — from flow and placenta models to electronic simulators — using the latest devices and technologies
  • Live surgery from some of the best theaters and angiosuites in the world, with interactive discussions.

By partnering with leading industry innovators and world-renowned experts in vascular and endovascular disciplines, the Center ensures that its programs mirror real-world clinical challenges and incorporate the latest technological advancements in the field.

The project aims to create a dynamic and interactive training program focused on neurovascular and endovascular education.
Once a month, a dedicated session will be organized, each centered on a specific topic such as bypass, dissections on chicken wings or placentas, clipping on models, and flow diverter procedures, etc..
Each session will feature a different theme and faculty, ensuring a diverse exchange of experiences and expertise.
Participation will be open to all interested clinicians and trainees.
The idea is to establish a permanent location, easily accessible and open to anyone who wishes to train. We will provide the facility and all the required equipment.
A few days before every hands-on session, an online lecture will be held to introduce the topic and discuss key concepts.
The format will follow the EANS Bootcamp-style structure, combining one afternoon of online teaching with a full day of practical, hands-on training in Rome.
This innovative approach is designed to foster technical skills, collaboration, and continuous learning in a highly engaging and realistic environment.
Finally, to establish a network of experts aimed at fostering collaboration through the sharing of cases, insights, and joint research or clinical initiatives.

Faculty & Scientific Board

These are some of the main courses that will be organized.

  • Learn and review surgical techniques of extracranial-intracranial and intracranial-intracranial bypass
  • Review clinical surgical examples of high, low-flow EC-IC and IC-IC to learn pearls and limitations
  • Review clinical surgical examples of clipping
  • Practice surgical techniques for anastomosis, bypass creation and clipping in various surgical models in the laboratory

Neuroendovascular Workshops
Course Learning Objectives

  • Understand current best practices in the diagnostic and endovascular treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke
  • Evaluate indications, techniques, and outcomes of aneurysm embolization, flow diversion, and AVM embolization
  • Discuss the role of new devices and imaging technologies in neurointervention
  • Improve patient selection criteria for neurovascular procedures
  • Recognize and manage procedural complications

Inside the storm: Facing Complications in Vascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery
Course Learning Objectives

  • Recognize and prevent the most common complications in open vascular and endovascular neurosurgery
  • Apply practical strategies for managing intraoperative and postoperative critical events
