McLeod H, et al. – Aim of this study was to assess human Thiel–embalmed cadavers with the addition of extracorporeal driven ante–grade pulsatile flow in the aorta as a model for simulation training in interventional techniques and endovascular device testing. In context of the findings, the human Thiel–embalmed cadavers with the addition of extracorporeal flow within the aorta offer an anatomically appropriate, physiologically similar robust model to simulate aortic endovascular procedures, with potential applications in interventional radiology training and medical device testing as a pre–clinical model.
