- Abstract:
- This study addresses endovascular training using simulators for uterine artery embolization. A review of endovascular skill training for surgeons using simulators was performed. Surgeons possess varying levels of proficiency in endovascular techniques. A simulator will improve endovascular skills in the following areas: C-arm image intensifier use, catheter selection and manipulation, understanding of the pelvic anatomy, and technique of embolization. Surgeons may gain realistic experience on the simulator prior to entry into the cath lab or procedure room. Using a simulator, surgeons can learn valuable endovascular skills necessary for successful performance of uterine artery embolization.
