Optimizing cadaveric models for endovascular training through effective preparation techniques
This study establishes that preparing FFCs is promising for developing versatile and optimized models for endovascular training. Sharing our preparation techniques will allow other institutions to replicate these models to enhance their training programs. Continued improvements could make FFC models essential tools for training the next generation of endovascular specialists. Prior models have been created, and our institutional experience highlights the foundation of these techniques, whereas future studies will aim to test these models in trainees.
