History of ABC WIN

The foundation of the WIN

In memory of Luc Picard

Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends

We have the deep sadness to announce you that Professor Luc Picard, founder of the WIN meeting in Val d'Isère, has passed away Monday April 12, 2021.

It is a huge loss for our community and for interventional neuroradiology. Without him, his ongoing dedication, involvement and enthusiasm about the future of our speciality, the ABCWIN meeting would not have reached the level it has achieved and would not be what it is: an assembly where science, friendship, humanism and ethical concerns have met every January for nearly 40 years. All qualities that Luc Picard infused in his daily practice and behaviour.
Interventional Neuroradiology has lost one of his fathers. His legacy will never be forgotten.
