An endovascular simulation exercise among radiology residents : comparison of simulation performance with and without practice . PURPOSE The purpose was to compare resident endovascular simulator performance with and without prior simulation . METHODS Radiology residents were guided through a practice simulation and lectured on endovascular therapy , then randomized to simulate femoral arterial intervention with or without prior iliac simulation . Simulator measurements , performance grading and resident surveys were recorded . RESULTS Prior simulation of iliac intervention significantly improved resident performance . In particular , it resulted in less catheter placement without a wire ( P=.01 ) , shorter time to proper catheter positioning ( P=.045 ) and use of oblique digital subtraction angiography ( P=.035 ) . Survey respondents valued the experience . CONCLUSION Endovascular simulator training improves simulation skills . Improvement of real-world performance and generalizability remain to be shown .
