简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if simulator-based training will improve interventional cardiology fellows' skills and will improve patient outcomes.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does this training improve specific operative parameters recorded during initial coronary interventions performed as first operators under senior supervision?
- Will major and minor procedural complications be reduced after simulator-based training?
Interventional cardiology fellows in their first year of training will be randomized between standard master-apprentice training or simulator-based training before starting their cath lab period.
They will be supervised during their cath lab period as first operators by senior interventional cardiologists.
During their first 50 procedures performed as supervised first operator, specific procedural data will be collected.
