（Part 3）A New Chapter of Innovation and Collaboration — The 2025 China–France Neurointerventional Symposium (CFNS 2025) Successfully Held!

The third part of the session was co-chaired by Professor Chang Binge, Professor Guo Zaiyu, Professor Liu Aihua, and Director Ren Hecheng.

Professor Huang Qinghai, Chief Physician in the Department of Neurosurgery at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, and Deputy Head of the Neurointervention Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association; Professor Steve Wong from Singapore General Hospital; Professor Quan Tao from the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University; Professor Mohamed Sayed from Hôpital Bicêtre, Université Paris-Saclay, France; and the team led by Professor Li Xifeng from Zhujiang Hospital, Southern Medical University, delivered a series of insightful lectures on emerging technologies and clinical challenges in neurointervention.

Their respective presentations addressed “Analysis and Management Strategies for Incomplete Aneurysm Occlusion Following Flow-Diverter Treatment,” “MRI Vessel Wall Imaging in Neurointervention,” “Transvenous Treatment of Cerebral Arteriovenous Malformations,” “Technical Advances in Venous Sinus Stenting,” and “Transradial Versus Transfemoral Access: Evidence-Based Decision-Making.”

Drawing on their extensive clinical experience and research expertise, the speakers offered distinctive perspectives and practical insights into these important topics. Their presentations attracted considerable attention and stimulated in-depth discussions among participating experts, fostering further academic exchange and advancing the exploration of innovative neurointerventional strategies.

The fourth part of the session was co-chaired by Professor Cai Chuwei and Professor Li Xudong.

Professor Ni Wei from Huashan Hospital, Fudan University; the team led by Professor Zhang Hongqi from Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University; Professor Christophe Bureau from France; and Professor Cristian Mihalea from Hôpital Bicêtre, Université Paris-Saclay, France, delivered a series of lectures exploring cutting-edge innovations and evolving clinical strategies in neurointervention and cerebrovascular surgery.

Their respective presentations focused on “Application of Intelligent Robotic Microcatheter Shaping in Intracranial Aneurysm Embolization,” “Surgical Grading and Indications for Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations,” “Recent Advances in CD31 Coating Research,” and “Anatomical Variations and Indications for Direct Superior Sagittal Sinus Puncture in the Treatment of Dural Arteriovenous Fistulas.”

Combining forward-looking perspectives with practical clinical relevance, the presentations generated considerable interest and stimulated in-depth discussions among conference participants. The speakers' innovative insights and valuable clinical experience offered important guidance for the future development and application of advanced neurointerventional and cerebrovascular surgical techniques.

The conference featured a series of specially designed interactive sessions, including the “China–France Young Physicians Dialogue Workshop,” “Live Surgical Demonstrations and Hands-On Clinical Training,” and “Innovative Technology Exchange and Showcase.”

These sessions were jointly moderated and facilitated by distinguished international experts, including Professors Jacques Moret, Laurent Spelle, Laurent Pierot, Hae Woong Jeong, Ganbaatar Rentsenkhuu, and Steve Wong, alongside leading Chinese specialists, including Professors Yin Long, Huang Qinghai, Yue Xuanye, Quan Tao, Wang Dengliang, Yang Ming, Ma Yongjie, Wei Ming, Jia Qiang, Ren Hecheng, and Ma Lin.

Together, these renowned experts established a dynamic international platform dedicated to nurturing the next generation of neurointerventional specialists. Through interactive case discussions, young Chinese physicians and their international counterparts exchanged clinical insights and challenged conventional thinking; through hands-on experience with neurointerventional devices, they shared technical expertise and refined their procedural skills; and through open dialogue on emerging concepts and treatment strategies, they inspired fresh perspectives and innovative approaches.

These interactive activities fostered meaningful cross-cultural collaboration, strengthened professional connections, and created valuable opportunities for young physicians to broaden their international perspectives and advance their clinical expertise.

Innovative Technology Exchange and Showcase

Tianjin’s spirit of openness and inclusiveness has long fostered the convergence of diverse cultures and traditions, while the shared pursuit of excellence in neurointervention continues to unite medical professionals across borders. The Haihe River and the Seine, one carrying the wisdom of the East and the other reflecting the elegance of Europe, symbolize two great traditions whose convergence promises to inspire new waves of innovation and progress.

The successful convening of this conference represents a further deepening of the longstanding friendship and academic partnership between China and France. By showcasing cutting-edge achievements and emerging directions in neurointervention, the conference offered a compelling vision for the future of the specialty. It brought together Chinese and French expertise to contribute fresh insights and innovative approaches to the global advancement of neurointervention, while supporting Tianjin’s ambition to become a leading medical hub in northern China and further enhancing its international influence in healthcare.

United by a shared vision and strengthened through collaboration, we move forward together. We look forward to reuniting with our distinguished colleagues and friends at the next conference, continuing our journey of mutual learning, innovation, and academic excellence. Let us embrace a new chapter of innovation and collaboration in neurointervention, building a brighter future through the enduring partnership between China and France!
