Increasing time and resource constraints, and the potential for patient complications, has led to an emphasis on finding innovative ways to teach catheter-based procedures outside of the laboratory. Virtual reality (VR) simulator training has been proposed as a potential training solution. We report on the initial validation of a full procedural VR simulator for carotid angiography (CA) using the Vascular Interventional System Trainer (VIST).
