Subclaims¶

q2 i? The Vascular Intervention System Trainer (VIST), validated by 15 studies, showed transfer to clinical practice: practicing iliofemoral and superficial femoral angioplasty on VIST improved technical skill metrics and translated to real-world performance (LoE 3/5). → Haiser Alexander 2022

q2 · i? · review · r2

Review narrative of VIST validation studies. Chaer et al. was a randomized, controlled study per the reference list, and Hseino et al. found practicing superior femoral angioplasty on VIST "translated to real-world performance". Most VIST studies scored LoE 1-2/5.

"Chaer et al. used VIST to trial a simulated iliofemoral angioplasty and found an improvement in all technical skill metrics when later performed on real patients (LoE = 3/5)."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• A systematic review identified 76 eligible articles validating 34 vascular surgery simulators and training courses for open and endovascular procedures — a broader claim this one bears on
• ANGIO Mentor was the most highly validated and effective vascular simulator and the only simulator to achieve an LoE of 5/5 — related
• Only seven studies of vascular surgery simulation achieved a level of effectiveness greater than 3/5, with the majority scoring LoE 1-2/5 — a broader claim this one bears on
• Evidence on transfer to clinical behavior and patient outcomes is scarce: only 2 studies reached Kirkpatrick level 3 and 1 reached level 4 — related
• Non-expert delivered feedback is as effective as expert feedback on most outcomes in endovascular simulator training — related
