Fig 2 Study design. Numbers in brackets represent amount of endovascular experience required for inclusion in each group. Numbers in parentheses for each subgroup represent participants who had completion times for both pretest and final test, and thus could be used in the time analyses.

Fig 3 Completion times for pretest and final tests in both advanced and novice groups after 1 repetition (untrained) and practice plus repetition (trained). *P = .001 vs novice-trained pretest; #P = .001 vs advanced-trained pretest. Error bars represent standard deviation. Journal of Vascular Surgery 2004 40, 1118-1125DOI: (10.1016/j.jvs.2004.08.026) Copyright © 2004 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
