The EXMINT 7.1 course has been successfully completed, marking an important milestone in the European Stroke Course in Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (EXMINT) series.
A total of 103 participants took part in this intensive, five-day virtual course, which focused on the theoretical aspects of ischemic stroke treatment.
Participants from a variety of specialties – including Neurology, Interventional Radiology, Cardiology, Neuroradiology, Neurosurgery, Radiology, and Stroke Medicine – engaged in lectures, tutorials, and assessments, gaining insights into key areas such as anatomy, diagnostic methods, examination techniques, and medicamentous therapy.
The course was led by Course Director Antonin Krajina, EXMINT Chair Wim van Zwam, and Course Organizer Lenka Lomjanská. The course featured 17 lecturers, who provided expertise and guidance throughout the program.
Feedback from participants was highly positive, with many expressing appreciation for the course’s interactive nature. The group demonstrated strong engagement, asking numerous questions and actively participating in discussions.
Looking Ahead
EXMINT 7.2, the second part of the program, will be held on-site in Prague from February 24–28, 2025. This in-person session will allow participants to dive deeper into the theoretical knowledge with some glimpses of practical training through hands-on sessions.
After completing both parts of the course, participants will be eligible to take the European Diploma in Ischaemic Stroke Intervention (EDSI) exam, which is scheduled for Friday, 2nd May 2025. Successful candidates will receive their diploma at the ESMINT Congress in September.
