Prevention and Management of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention-Related Complications: Assessing the Impact of Simulation-Based Learning and Human Factors Training.
Article in Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundComplications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain infrequent but are associated with a risk of serious injury or death. The techniques and devices required to manage them may be unfamiliar or unavailable to operators. Simulation-based learning (SBL) and human factors training (HFT) may serve as tools to increase operator skills and confidence in complication prevention and management.
methodsA survey was given to participants during an SBL program delivered at a major international cardiovascular intervention course in 2023 and 2024. Prior experience with complications, access to equipment, and confidence in managing procedural PCI complications were established. Confidence was then reassessed following SBL training.
resultsA total of 308 cardiologists, from over 50 countries, completed the survey. Access to emergency equipment varied, with half of the operators lacking access to embolic coils. Despite an overall significant procedural experience, many operators were not confident in managing complications. Only 36.9% had undergone any prior HFT, 28.7% reported a lack of confidence in relying on their team, and 26.2% had neutral or negative expectations of obtaining support from colleagues when encountering complications. Structured SBL/HFT significantly improved operator confidence in complication recognition and management.
conclusionEffective management of PCI complications requires a practical know-how of specific techniques and access to devices that may not be routinely available. We found that structured SBL and HFT increase operator confidence in complication prevention and management. Further research should seek to investigate long-term outcomes of SBL use in the clinical management of procedural complications.
