Virtual Reality Permanent Pacing:
Validation of a Novel Computerized Permanent Pacemaker Implantation Simulator
Construct validity was demonstrated for the simulator (Immersion Medical
Endovascular AccuTouch System), which differentiated procedural efficiency
(less time in procedure and in fluoroscopy and better visualization of
tissues by x-ray) among the three cohorts according to their experience
level in performing five attempted implants of ventricular and atrial
leads. Study performed by Tom Wang, Ara Darzi, Rodney Foale, Richard Schilling,
Department of Cardiology St. Mary's Hospital and Imperial College School
of Medicine, London, UK. Published in Journal of the American College
of Cardiology (Supplement) 2001; 37(2): 493A-494A.
