CIRSE 2014

Kongress in Glasgow/UK
13.9.2014, 08:00 - 17.9.2014, 20:00

Annual Meeting of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe

Dear Colleagues,
 

A growing number of medical conditions can now be treated with minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. This is clearly reflected in the CIRSE Annual Congress, and great care is taken to ensure that our programme permits generalists, specialists and sub-specialists alike to stay on top of those latest breakthroughs in the field that are most relevant to their work.

For several years, our programme has been split into six tracks that each focus on core themes in IR. Delegates have reported that this structure allows them to easily create their own tailor-made schedule and focus on the topics that are of most interest to them.

This year, the Scientific Programme Committee has further improved this structure by carefully refining the time schedule. Sessions will now run parallel, making it easier for delegates to seamlessly follow our clinical tracks, and so ensuring that they get the most from the congress.

The Vascular Track will once again be a major focus of the congress, encompassing a wide range of pathologies. More than 50 hours of vascular education will be offered, including 15 Special Sessions, 12 Workshops, 4 Fundamental Courses and more than 10 Hands-on Workshops. Evidence Fora will examine the latest clinical data on endovascular aneurysm repair, while Controversies in SFA treatment and Controversies in BTK treatment will see the most contentious issues openly debated by renowned vascular experts. Coupled with an Interactive Case Session entitled Challenging venous interventions and a Hot Topic Symposium (Treatment of DVT and PE: paradigm shift?), the Vascular Track offers ample learning opportunities for novice and expert alike.

Interventional oncology and transcatheter embolisation are two further areas in which IRs have become more active in recent years. This year, the interventional oncology track will explore many new clinical applications, such as neuroendocrine tumours, and will offer a range of case-based Workshops and Hands-on Workshops, covering the basic skills needed to treat liver, kidney or bone tumours. Embolotherapy, meanwhile, will be comprehensively discussed in a number of key sessions and workshops, including the Controversies in transcatheter embolisation debate and the Interactive Case Session on iatrogenic bleeding.

These three tracks will be complemented by separate tracks dedicated to Neurointerventions, Non-Vascular Interventions and IR Management, and more information about these can be found in the Preliminary Programme.

Not only is the annual CIRSE meeting the most content-rich event on minimally invasive therapies, it is also the most cost-efficient. To mark the start of CIRSE’s 30th Anniversary celebrations, we are offering our members a reduced registration fee of just €300, and we invite all of you to partake of this unique jubilee offer!

It has been many years since CIRSE was last in the UK, and we are very much looking forward to returning. Glasgow has a stellar reputation as a conference city, and offers an ideal venue for our ever-growing congress. The city is easy to reach thanks to its three local airports, and the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre is a mere three metro stops from Glasgow’s bustling city centre, which offers congress-goers much to see and do in the evenings.

We look forward to welcoming you all to Glasgow for the launch of our 30-year anniversary celebrations!
