ESMINT 2026

The SNIS team had a wonderful time connecting with peers at the European Society of Minimally Invasive Neurological Therapy (ESMINT) 18th Annual Congress earlier this month in Marseille, France. We’re proud to partner with our international colleagues in advancing the field of neurointervention. Guilherme also took some time to rock out with the ESMINT band again this year!

We were all inspired by this year’s Amy Walters Lecturer, Melinda Roaldsen. Congratulations to Francesco Diana and Victor Schulze-Zachau for being awarded the JNIS Best European Papers. Many thanks to Guilherme Dabus, MD, Michael Chen, MD, FSNIS, Clemens Schirmer, MD, Alejandro Berenstein, MD, FSNIS and Edgar Samaniego, MD for contributing to the success of our sessions.
