Dear colleagues and friends,

ALICE –Advanced Live Interventional Course of Essen- will be hold in Essen from the 12th to the 14th of March 2025.

We are pleased to welcome you back in Essen. We are planning a combination of live cases, presentations and discussions. Live cases will go throughout the whole spectrum of intracranial endovascular therapy including aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations, dural fistulae, intracranial stenosis and thrombectomies with broadcasting from various centers. We will share our ideas on the endovascular management in demanding situations and debate on the various techniques of aneurysm treatment. Since last ALICE 2023, additional developments have been entering our practice in the management of dural fistulae and AVMs, which we will expose and debate.

We will have this year a special debate between Tim Darsault and Christophe Cognard to find out why some studies show that most AVMs are not occluded by embolization and others show high occlusion rates using the same technique.
Brian Howard will also explain why and how he only treats cavernous sinus fistulae by direct puncture of the sinus.
Another new highlight is a special BANANAZ lecture on vascular anatomy from Maksim Shapiro and Eytan Raz.
This year’s Jean-Jacques Merland’s lecture will be held by Nick Higgins who first pioneered intracranial venous stenting.

Our special session "ALICE in trouble" will focus on complications with potential ways on how to avoid or resolve it.
We will keep you updated on all treated cases during previous editions of ALICE. We expect again interesting and passionate discussions between all participants with the support of our experienced moderators and of our special good mood factor Aster whose cartoons steadily keep the whole audience attentive.

Our website is steadily evolving. A new archiving system has been implemented allowing access to all past treatments. The content is directly accessible via keywords so that when selecting for instance „#TVE", the 27 transvenous embolization procedures of AVMs and Dural Fistulae achieved in the previous ALICE sessions are immediately displayed and can be reviewed in full length at any time.

I look forward to meet you again at the Philharmonic Hall of Essen in March at ALICE 2025.
