Neurovascular procedures are growing in complexity, while training capacity remains limited. A new multicenter European study highlights how simulation can help programs scale training more effectively. Researchers measured performance during simulated angiography and aneurysm coiling using objective metrics such as procedure time, fluoroscopy exposure, contrast use, and technical errors. The results show clear performance improvement and strong differentiation between novice and expert operators. For institutions, this opens new possibilities for defining readiness and strengthening training pathways before live cases. The article explores what this could mean for the future of neurovascular education. Read the full article: https://okt.to/zP3Zid
