Abstract
We present a new in vitro model for the training of endovascular embol izations of cerebral aneurysms. The technique and laboratory set-up de scribed allow the embolization of thin-walled, transparent silicone an eurysm models under ''semi-physiologic'' conditions, i.e., in a closed circulation with pulsatile flow and pressure, simulating the hemodyna mic conditions encountered in biologic systems.
