Current carotid intervention training relies on apprenticeship. Simulation technology offers objective assessment and training for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and stenting (CAS), enhancing patient care standards.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Medical Education
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Carotid interventions, including endarterectomy (CEA) and angioplasty/stenting (CAS), aim to mitigate stroke risk.
  • Procedure success hinges on minimizing operative risks.
  • This review examines current training paradigms for CEA and CAS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing training and assessment methods for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS).
  • To explore the role of simulation in improving competency and patient outcomes for carotid interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive Medline searches were conducted using keywords: carotid, endarterectomy, stent, training, assessment, and simulation.
  • Manual searches of reference lists and related literature were performed to identify relevant studies.

Main Results:

  • Carotid intervention training currently follows a traditional apprenticeship model.
  • Formal training protocols and objective assessment methods for CEA and CAS are lacking.
  • Simulation models and simulators have been developed for both CEA and CAS training and assessment outside the operating room.

Conclusions:

  • Simulation technology provides a controlled, objective environment for training and assessing competency in CEA and CAS.
  • Robust evaluation of simulation is crucial to augment existing programs and maintain high standards of care for carotid disease.
  • Objective, competency-based training and assessment, enhanced by simulators, are achievable and necessary.
