Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Several studies have shown that procedural outcomes are better at high-volume institutions, possibly due to greater physician experience (learning) or practice (repetition). Our purpose was to determine whether outcomes for coil embolization improved with the experience of the practitioner, after adjusting for the perceived risk of treatment.
