Coronary stent underexpansion is associated with restenosis and stent thrombosis. In clinical studies of atherosclerosis, high wall shear stress (WSS) has been associated with activation of prothrombotic pathways, upregulation of matrix metalloproteinases, and future myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that stent underexpansion is predictive of high WSS.

- Simulation technology can effectively enhance coronary angiographic (CA) image interpretation skills among medical trainees beyond traditional teaching methods, as shown in a randomized study.
- The study involved 105 participants, including medical students, residents, and fellows, who were divided into two groups: one receiving simulation training alongside didactic teaching and the other receiving didactic teaching alone.
- Results indicated that those in the simulation group had significantly higher improvement in test scores, particularly residents, emphasizing the need for integrating simulation training into cardiovascular fellowship programs.
