Zusammenfassung:Reducing radiation exposure during cardiovascular catheterization is of paramount importance to ensure patient and staff safety. Our study aimed to assess the transferability of acquired skills from virtual reality to the real world, including radioprotection measures during mentored simulation training (ST) in coronary angiography. A total of 10 cardiology residents were evaluated during real-life cases in the catheterization laboratory before (group A) and after mentored ST. The educational effect of mentored simulator training on real-life case performance was evaluated at 2 different time points: within the first week (group B) and after 12 weeks (group C). Compared with group A, the total dose area product (DAP) (µGy•m2) and total air kerma (mGy) were lower after ST: group A: 2,633 (1,723 to 3,617) versus group B: 1,618 (1,032 to 2,562), p
