AngioLabs: Bridging the Gap in Endovascular Training

AngioLabs develops anatomically accurate, 3D-printed vascular models engineered for endovascular training. We provide interventional radiology, vascular surgery, and interventional neurology trainees with a realistic, highly accessible environment to practice complex procedures before scrubbing into the cath lab.

Designed from the Inside Out Founded by an interventional radiology resident training within the Texas Medical Center, AngioLabs is built on frontline clinical experience. Developed in collaboration with seasoned proceduralists, our company was born out of a recognized need to close the gap between standard simulation and real-world patient care.

The Problem: A Compromised Standard Historically, training solutions have forced programs to compromise. High-end industry models are highly customized but prohibitively expensive for routine educational use. Conversely, standard educational models often oversimplify vascular anatomy, sacrificing the geometric complexity necessary for true procedural readiness. AngioLabs eliminates this compromise.

Our Solution & Clinical Value By utilizing advanced imaging workflows to translate real patient CT angiography datasets directly into physical models, we preserve the true tortuosity and branching complexity of human anatomy.

Key Use Cases & Benefits:

  • Accessible Procedural Mastery: Trainees develop muscle memory and spatial awareness on realistic anatomy, standardizing the learning curve for critical endovascular techniques.

  • Targeted Pathology Practice: Our patent-pending modular pathology inserts allow users to repeatedly practice high-stakes interventions such as coiling aneurysms, deploying stents, and placing IVC filters, on a single base model.

  • Scalable Program Integration: The cost-effective, reproducible nature of our printing process allows residency and fellowship programs to implement standardized, hands-on evaluations.

  • Enhanced Patient Consultations: Beyond procedural training, our models serve as tangible educational tools in the clinic. Clinicians can visually walk patients through their exact procedural approach, setting clear expectations and optimizing informed consent.
