Acute Stroke Intervention & Mechanical Thrombectomy Simulation Masterclass

Training Overview

Acute Stroke Intervention & Mechanical Thrombectomy Simulation Masterclass is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for neurologists, interventional neuroradiologists, stroke physicians, and endovascular specialists aiming to enhance their proficiency in acute stroke diagnosis, rapid decision-making, and mechanical thrombectomy techniques. This two-day course integrates theoretical instruction with high-fidelity, hands-on endovascular simulation to build clinical confidence, technical precision, and multidisciplinary coordination in time-critical stroke management.

The program begins with comprehensive sessions on stroke pathophysiology, imaging-based patient selection, workflow optimization, and evidence-based reperfusion strategies. Participants review the latest guidelines, device technologies, and procedural considerations essential for safe and effective mechanical thrombectomy.

Hands-on simulation modules immerse participants in realistic endovascular stroke interventions using advanced simulators replicating vascular anatomy, catheter navigation, clot retrieval, and complication management. Attendees practice device manipulation, stent retriever deployment, aspiration techniques, and bailout strategies under expert supervision. Faculty-led debriefings reinforce procedural sequencing, complication avoidance, and team communication during hyperacute stroke scenarios.

Interactive workshops and case-based discussions challenge participants to interpret neuroimaging, select candidates for thrombectomy, and manage challenging anatomical variations and intra-procedural complications. Participants also learn structured communication approaches, cognitive aids, and workflow strategies to optimize door-to-reperfusion times in real clinical environments.

By the end of the masterclass, attendees will be equipped with the technical, cognitive, and coordination skills necessary to perform mechanical thrombectomy with accuracy and confidence, significantly improving patient outcomes in acute ischemic stroke care.
