The Functional Neurovascular Anatomy course is a comprehensive and didactic review of the embryology and vascular anatomy necessary for neuroendovascular surgery. The course comprises lectures, 3D anatomic sessions as well as interactive workshops on angiographic images related to stroke cases.
The course has been created for neuroradiologists, radiologists, neurologists and neurosurgeons with particular interest in neurovascular diseases. It may be interesting to physicians in training to become INR specialists as well as senior physicians who wish to refresh their knowledge in functional neurovascular anatomy.
An advanced Anatomy Course for neuroendovascular specialists and instructors.
The WFITN Course has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) with 18.0 European CME credits (ECMEC®s).Through an agreement between the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.
The WFITN Course in Neurovascular Anatomy, held in Zurich from 15 to 18 June 2026, brought together delegates representing 11 countries across Europe, the Americas and the Asia-Pacific region. Evaluation forms were received, yielding consistently high mean scores across all EACCME® categories:
