Overview

Supports ANGIO Mentor integration into vascular surgery curricula; extends highest-level translational evidence for simulation training.

Study Design

Type

Systematic Review (n=76)

Structured PICO

P
Population
76 eligible articles validating 34 vascular surgery simulators and training courses for open and endovascular procedures.
E
Exposure
Vascular surgery simulation models
O
Outcome
Validity ratings based on Messick's modern concept of validity and levels of effectiveness (LoE) score according to McGaghie's translational outcomes

ANGIO Mentor is the most highly validated and effective vascular surgery simulator, though further studies on long-term skill retention and cost-effectiveness are needed to effectively integrate simulation models into curricula.

Limitations

  • Need for studies to look at trainee skill retention over a longer period of time
  • A more detailed discussion on cost-effectiveness is needed

Cite This Study

James M. McGreevy (2005) conducted a systematic review in Vascular surgery training (n=76). Vascular surgery simulators was evaluated on Validity ratings and Level of Effectiveness (LoE) score. Among 76 articles evaluating 34 vascular surgery simulators, ANGIO Mentor was the most highly validated and effective model, uniquely achieving a Level of Effectiveness score of 5/5.
