Last week, IHU Strasbourg hosted the “Ablation from A to Z” course, organized by the Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiological Society of Europe (CIRSE). This event marks the start of the 20th anniversary year of its educational department, the European School of Interventional Radiology (ESIR).

An experimental platform for European training

The choice of IHU Strasbourg for this symbolic launch was no coincidence. Since 2022, under the leadership of Prof. Afshin Gangi, a founding member of ESIR, IHU has regularly hosted practical training courses for the learned society.

For these highly technical sessions, the IHU’s state-of-the-art experimental platform offers participants the ideal conditions for learning complex procedures in interventional radiology, particularly in the areas of ablation and embolization.
