Embolization as a treatment option continues to grow worldwide. Indications include peripheral vascular disease, aortic disease, uterine fibroids, trauma, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, vascular malformations, liver cancer and a host of other medical conditions. In response, physicians in a variety of fields have increasingly embraced embolization procedures as part of their practices. 

Now in its sixth year, the world’s largest embolization meeting — Global Emoblization Symposium and Technologies (GEST) — is the first and only gathering that features an in-depth, evidence-based review of the full range of possibilities.


As the leading resource on embolization, GEST brings together renowned experts to present a one-of-a-kind program that focuses on the latest findings, the newest techniques and the most important issues. GEST covers all aspects of embolization through lectures, panel discussions, debates, live demonstrations and hands-on sessions.


GEST 2012 U.S. will offer the international community an ideal gathering place in New York City.  The newly rennovated and perfectly situated Sheraton New York will serve as the meeting venue and GEST 2012 U.S. headquarters hotel . Join us for the biggest GEST meeting to date!
