Description
The International Congress on Complications in Interventional Radiology (ICCIR) has become a well recognized and respected scientific meeting held periodically in Austria since the year 2000. After 10 years the time for change has finally come. The increasing awareness of this meeting in the European IR community has lead to the logical consequence to bring the meeting under the umbrella of the CIRSE Foundation. From this year on, the meeting will be organized in the name of the CIRSE Foundation and will be part of the European School of Interventional Radiology (ESIR). We are convinced that this change will help to further promote the congress in the international field of interventional radiology.
The concept has not changed substantially. Again we will focus on well prepared case presentations and there should be wide room for discussions. The high scientific level is well represented by a distinguished faculty consisting of renowned interventional radiologists but also by experts from our partner disciplines like vascular surgery, oncology and gastroenterology.
Nevertheless, case reports and case discussions are the essence of the meeting. Therefore we strongly encourage you and your colleagues to submit cases which can be presented at the meeting. Admission to the Congress is free for case presenters! In addition, prizes will be awarded for the best presentations.
