Validation Studies
Overall, ANGIO Mentor was the most highly validated and effective simulator and was the only simulator to achieve an LoE of 5/5.
Trainees who completed PROSPECT showed superior technical performance in real life with significantly fewer supervisor takeovers compared with trainees receiving e-learning alone. A structured, stepwise, proficiency-based endovascular curriculum including e-learning and simulation-based training should be integrated early into training programs to enhance trainee performance.
