The annual congress of the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE) has become the most comprehensive interventional meeting in Europe over the past 20 years. Due to the growing importance of vertebroplasty within Interventional Radiology, CIRSE will offer hands-on vertebroplasty workshops on three days during its congress in 2007.
The workshops will start with an introduction to the principles and indications of the procedure, followed by a hands-on demonstration. Participants will then have the opportunity to practise needle placement, injection and the preparation of bone cement. All procedures will be carried out on plastic spine models under fluoroscopic guidance. In order to guarantee best possible mentoring, the number of participants per workshop is limited to 12.
