19th Interdisciplinary Cerebrovascular Symposium

The Interdisciplinary Cerebrovascular Symposium has become a premier meeting, gathering experts with different backgrounds: geneticists, biologists, clinicians, engineers and more recently, data analysts and modellers using AI with a common aim to better understand cerebrovascular pathophysiology and develop new tools to diagnose and treat cerebrovascular diseases. The first ICS took place in Geneva in 2004 and was organised by Prof Daniel A. Rüfenacht, Prof Pedro Lylyk and Prof Makoto Ohta. 

The 2023 opus will cover physiology of the cerebrovascular autoregulation and implications in ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke, as well as mechanisms of vessel wall remodelling, aneurysm formation and progression, arterio-venous malformation and arterio-venous fistula natural history modelling and treatments, as well as discussions on cavernous angioma, vasospasm, hydrocephalus and cerebrovascular disautonomy induced by trauma. The sessions will focus on key questions addressed by experts from different backgrounds ending with a moderated roundtable discussion. It has been decided to leave enough time between the sessions and organise social events to promote collaborations.

Prof. Philippe Bijlenga, Prof. Sven Hirsch, Dr. Sandrine Morel, Prof. Paolo Machi, Dr Emmanuel Carrera, Dr. Julien Haemmerli, Prof. Karl Schaller
