Abstract
The performance of 150 coronary angiograms as a primary operator should be considered an arbitrary number. While improvements are seen in any task when performed repeatedly, the question of when an individual is proficient is less clear. Some individualization of assessment and monitoring would seem appropriate to ensure that trainees gain proficiency in performing coronary angiography during their advanced training period.
