Mastering Liquid Embolitics in IR : Join the 3rd Edition of ELEC in Dijon

Over the last years, there has been a growing development and use of liquid embolic agents in IR for peripheral and visceral applications, enabling the treatment of more complex diseases such as vascular trauma and bleeding, arteriovenous malformations, aneurysms, varicocele and pelvic congestion syndrome, benign prostatic hypertrophy, endoleaks – conditions that otherwise could not be as effectively treated as with other embolic devices. Despite their increasing prevalence, these agents remain underused or unavailable in many hospitals, limiting treatment options for simple and complex diseases. Furthermore, there is still a fear around the use of liquid embolic agents in clinical practice, probably coming from the bad reputation of cyanoacrylates.

Liquid embolic agents represent an advancement over traditional mechanical embolic materials, making them crucial for IRs to be proficient in their use within clinical practice, allowing for high embolic efficiency and potential better clinical outcomes in many indications. However, liquid management and practices are different and a bit more complex than using conventional coils or particles. That’s why we have conceived ELEC, European Liquid Embolic Course, in 2023, an every 2-year event to support all IRs willing to learn and develop these innovative techniques into their daily practice. Knowing the indications for use, chemical properties and clinical benefits, edges and risks of these products are essential for a well-trained IR.

Based on the success of previous ELEC editions, this learning curve will be realized in collaboration with a European Faculty, through a 3-day course with an original format, featured by many educational live case transmissions from François Mitterrand Dijon University Hospital and case-based interactive discussions, tips and tricks from real life experience, hands-on sessions, short lectures on latest data and techniques, to allow all participants to get the expertise that IRs need in the management of liquid embolic agents.

We are more than happy to welcome you again in Dijon in 2026 and hope that this 3rd edition will meet your expectations!
