ADVANCED TEVAR MODULE
This module allows clinicians to practice all procedural steps of endovascular acute and chronic dissection treatment using stent graft systems.
The practiced steps include:
- Passing a guide wire into the true lumen (avoiding the false lumen)
- Selecting an appropriate stent graft
- Positioning a stent graft in the correct landing zone
- Deploying the stent graft
- Final angiography – verifying leaks
Features:
- IVUS imaging is available at specific anatomical structures
- Incorrect stent graft size or positioning may trigger endoleaks, which can be resolved using a balloon
- Any wire and catheter may accidently enter the false lumen
Learning Objectives:
- To practice the procedural steps
- To learn how to correctly size the stent graft
- To handle procedural complications, such as endoleak or false lumen
- To practice identifying false lumen positioning of a tool
- To become familiar with IVUS imaging
