This review covers training models for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Both wet-lab and in vivo animal models are crucial for surgical training, technology evaluation, and research.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Surgical Education

Background:

  • Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) training models are essential for surgical skill development.
  • These models facilitate the evaluation of novel surgical technologies and research into bypass graft pathophysiology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize currently utilized training models for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on CABG training models.
  • Categorization of models into wet-lab and in vivo animal types.
  • Examples include pig heart models and animal models using pigs and dogs.

Main Results:

  • Wet-lab models, such as the pig heart model, offer accessible and cost-effective training platforms.

  • In vivo animal models are more sophisticated and expensive, enabling evaluation of advanced techniques like off-pump and totally endoscopic CABG.

    • Conclusions:

    • Both wet-lab and in vivo animal models are indispensable for advancing CABG surgical techniques and research.
    • The choice of model depends on the specific training objective, technological evaluation, or research question.
