Abstract
A prototype simulator for training in endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has been developed. Employing transparent models of human AAA complete with renal, iliac and femoral arteries, this system allows accurate simulation of aortography, road-mapping, catheter guidewire manipulation and stent-graft deployment while obviating the need for ionising radiation.
