Our Mission

Pushing the boundaries in cerebrovascular research.

Welcome to the 21st Interdisciplinary Cerebrovascular Symposium (ICS), taking place in Buffalo, NY this year. Building on the legacy of its predecessors, the ICS was established in 2004 by Prof. Daniel A. Rüfenacht, Prof. Pedro Lylyk, and Dr. Makoto Ohta as the IntraCranial Stent meeting. This gathering brought together clinicians, scientists, engineers, and industry professionals, united by a shared goal: to explore, develop, and implement innovative treatment strategies for intracranial vascular diseases.

Over the years, the symposium has evolved significantly. The initial focus on flow-diverting stents and intracranial aneurysms has expanded to encompass a broader range of cerebrovascular conditions, including ischemic stroke, hemorrhage, intracranial atherosclerotic disease, and arteriovenous malformations. Indeed, the ICS has become a platform that nurtures interdisciplinary dialogue, fostering collaboration among experts from diverse fields, all dedicated to enhancing our understanding and treatment of cerebrovascular disease.

The uniqueness of this symposium lies in the deep engagement it fosters among participants. Each session is designed to explore a specific topic from multiple perspectives, featuring presentations from clinicians, engineers, and basic scientists. This multidisciplinary approach is complemented by dynamic discussions that encourage the exchange of ideas and insights, allowing attendees to gain a richer understanding of the subject matter.
