Training for endovascular therapy of acute arterial disease and procedure-related complication: An extracorporeally-perfused human cadaver model study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to evaluate the usability of a recently developed extracorporeally-perfused cadaver model for training the angiographic management of acute arterial diseases and periprocedural complications that may occur during endovascular therapy of the lower extremity arterial runoff.

Materials and methods

Continuous extracorporeal perfusion was established in three fresh-frozen body donors via inguinal and infragenicular access. Using digital subtraction angiography for guidance, both arterial embolization (e.g., embolization using coils, vascular plugs, particles, and liquid embolic agents) and endovascular recanalization procedures (e.g., manual aspiration or balloon-assisted embolectomy) as well as various embolism protection devices were tested.
