Cerebrovascular Surgery International Course (CSIC 2024)


  • Temerty Advanced Surgical Education & Simulation Centre 222 Saint Patrick Street Toronto, ON, M5T 1V4 Canada (map)

During this four-day course, attendees will be exposed to various training in open cerebrovascular surgery and exposure to endovascular modalities and radiosurgery. Faculty and participants will discuss and debate how these modalities can be incorporated into the armamentarium of the modern cerebrovascular surgeon.

The main objective of CSIC is to advance the practice of neurosurgery fellows and early-career neurosurgeons in the area of cerebrovascular surgery by introducing and reviewing the latest technical innovations, research, and best practices in the field.

Learning Objectives

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Make evidence-based recommendations for the management of cerebrovascular diseases including treatment selection of surgery, endovascular, radiosurgery or conservative management.

  • Combine clinical, anatomical, and radiological data to formulate a surgical treatment plan for specific case-based scenarios in cerebrovascular surgery.

  • Apply technical nuances and surgical techniques in a hands-on simulated wet lab to enhance workflow, and address both perceived and unperceived intra- operative challenges.

CSIC aims to provide a blended approach to learning as we host a comprehensive experience inclusive of, cadaveric wet labs, didactic lectures, and seminars to support in bridging the gap between knowledge and practice for early career neurosurgeons.

Topic areas include:

  • Surgical and radiological anatomy of the intracranial vasculature;

  • Surgical anatomy and principles of skull base approaches applied to cerebrovascular surgery;

  • Surgical and endovascular management of intracranial aneurysm;

  • Surgical, endovascular and radiosurgical management of arteriovenous malformations;

  • Surgical management of cavernomas;

  • Management of carotid disease;

  • Techniques for cerebral revascularization

  • Hands on training in cadavers and artificial model
