🎥 ESMINT TV Studio — Endosaccular Devices: What’s next?

Two experts discuss the shift from coiling (incl. balloon/stent assistance) to flow diverters and intrasaccular “flow disruptors,” covering:

• Indication selection & long-term results (occlusion/recurrence)
• Learning curves, simulation, e-learning & remote proctoring
• Surface modifications/coatings and the need for solid clinical evidence

Core message: Technique and training go hand in hand—coiling skills remain essential, and evidence should drive using the right device for the right patient.
