Abstract
Although endovascular techniques have achieved widespread acceptance, a suitable model for device development and physician training has not been available. Plastic models of the arterial tree and live animal models have significant limitations. Arterial-to-arterial flow is established in fresh frozen human cadavers after a simple thrombolytic process to achieve a more realistic model for endovascular device testing and training. Circulation can be established through most of the arterial system, including the cerebral, aortoiliac, and extremity vessels. This model offers antegrade flow in human arterial anatomy and has been used successfully for physician training and device development. (J Vasc Surg 2001;33:1128-30.)
