("MicroPort® NeuroTech") attended the 2nd Annual Conference of Chinese Interventional Neuroradiology Society of Chinese Stroke Association ("CINS 2016") to display APOLLO Intracranial Stent System ("APOLLO"). The CINS 2016 was hosted by Chinese Stroke Association and Chinese Interventional Neuroradiology Society of Chinese Stroke Association, and many domestic and international leading figures in the neurointervention field were invited to attend the event for academic exchange.
In the past year, there has been new advancement in China's neurointervention field in terms of technical training, quality control, clinical studies, academic theories, science popularization, and organization development. There also emerges new evidence for the stent treatment of carotid artery stenosis and new breakthroughs in using Flow Diverter to treat arterial aneurysm.
In the academic symposium of the CINS 2016, Professor Kangning Chen of the Southwest Hospital of the Third Military Medical University released the follow-up result of VAOS stent implantation in the report regarding the long-term follow-up results of multi-center studies of stent treatment of vertebral artery stenosis.
