2nd Annual CHICAGO Course
August 13-15, 2026 | David Rubenstein Forum | University of Chicago
Join us for an immersive educational experience designed to deepen your expertise in neurovascular pathology and treatment while sharpening the procedural skills you use every day. Learn directly from nationally recognized experts through focused, high-yield didactic lectures covering the latest neuro-endovascular techniques, technologies, and clinical strategies.
The seamless integration of education and application will take your skills to the next level. Translate concepts from the lecture hall directly into action during our hands-on tissue lab, reinforcing learning, refining surgical technique, and building real-world confidence. This blended approach ensures you don’t just hear what’s new, you practice it.
Whether you’re looking to enhance technical precision, expand your treatment toolkit, or elevate the quality of care you deliver, this second annual program offers a comprehensive, practice-focused learning experience you can immediately apply.
Register today to continue advancing your skills at the forefront of interventional neurology!

Target Audience
This activity is designed for neuroendovascular fellows and junior attending physicians dedicated to improving care in neuro-endovascular surgery.
Learning Objectives
After this activity, participants will be able to:
- Correlate neurovascular anatomy, including the aortic arch, venous system, and spinal vasculature, with procedural planning and complication prevention.
- Analyze angiographic techniques and optimization strategies to enhance diagnostic accuracy in cerebrovascular procedures.
- Evaluate device selection and procedural strategies for aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, arteriovenous fistulas, and subdural embolization based on current evidence.
- Demonstrate technical proficiency in embolization and coiling techniques using live-tissue simulations.
- Manage procedural complications through structured troubleshooting and team-based crisis management approaches.
- Appraise innovations and emerging technologies that advance neuro-endovascular treatment paradigms.
- Design strategies to develop and sustain neuro-endovascular and stroke programs within institutional and resource frameworks.
- Assess personal learning needs and professional performance to promote continuous improvement in neuro-endovascular practice.
