Validation of simulator-based neuroangiographical training.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Angiography is a diagnostic and interventional technique in (endo)vascular neurosurgery that demands a high level of precision and technical expertise. Traditionally, mastery of angiographic techniques has relied on hands-on training, often limited by patient availability and procedural complexity. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of simulator-based training for angiography, determining its role in enhancing procedural proficiency and its potential integration into a neuroendovascular training curriculum.

Research question

Is a simulator-based training for neuroangiography effective ?

Materials and methods

Participants (22 trainees and 10 experts) were recruited in neurosurgical departments from four international university hospitals. After
