Study: Remote supervision could expand access to neurointerventional technologies
Physicians training on novel technologies and surgical devices by other already experienced physicians, known as proctoring, is a fundamental aspect of medicine.
Travel and visitor restrictions intended to curb the global COVID-19 pandemic have put a temporary hold on in-person physician proctoring -; which is often required by the FDA or other regulatory bodies before surgeons can introduce new technologies in their practice -; thus delaying the introduction of new medical devices and techniques across multiple medical specialties.
In a new article published in the Journal of Neurointerventional Surgery, the NeuroInterventional Radiology (NIR) team at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center (LHMC) described their preliminary experience with remote supervision for the introduction in clinical practice of new technology for the treatment of brain aneurysms.
