The EXMINT 7.2 course has been successfully completed, marking another important milestone in the European Stroke Course in Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (EXMINT) series.
Five Days of Intensive Learning
Over 80 participants attended this five-day on-site course at the Orea Hotel Pyramida in Prague. The course provided in-depth theoretical training on ischemic stroke treatment, complemented by hands-on sessions.
The program covered a wide range of topics, including:
- Guideline updates and recent developments in stroke treatment
- Recanalization strategies for intracranial and extracranial occlusions
- Managing complications such as intracranial hematoma and futile recanalization
- Advanced techniques like robotic mechanical thrombectomy and intracranial stenting
Participants engaged in multiple lectures, led by Prof. Antonín Krajina (Course Director) and Prof. Wim van Zwam (Chair EXMINT Committee). The faculty included 14 experts from across Europe, offering lectures, tutorials, and interactive discussions.
Looking Ahead
With both EXMINT X.1. and EXMINT X.2 completed, participants are eligible to take the European Diploma in Ischaemic Stroke Intervention (EDSI) exam, scheduled for Friday, 2 May 2025.
Registration for the exam is open. The deadline for registration is 12 noon CEST on Friday, 4 April 2025. Successful candidates will receive their diploma at the ESMINT Congress in September.
