Enhancing Interventional Cardiology Training: A Porcine Heart-Based Coronary Intervention Simulator

Abstract

Introduction Access to simulators for interventional cardiology is currently limited. High acuity, low occurrence procedures (HALO), such as coronary perforation or iatrogenic dissection, are not trained in currently available simulators. We developed a cost-effective coronary intervention simulator designed to enhance the training of both novice and experienced interventionalists.
