now, the next step will be to do an angioplasty and stent insertion. >> these wires aren't going into the actor, tom, but into a computer simulator. >> that's really fiddly. you've got to have good eyesight, i think, because everything is very thin and flimsy. so, what's it like actually teaching in a simulated environment like this? >> i mean, it is important, i think, for juniors to have training in a simulated environment, because it's a safe environment, and they are not under pressure, and i have time as a trainer to teach juniors in a very systematic methodical manner. they can actually review what they have done today, and they can record and reflect. and the most important thing, they can rehearse the procedure many times in a day. >> it would probably take me years to be in a position to be able to do what i've done today. and--and certainly i feel as though now i've practiced it, you know, a good few times. i certainly feel more prepared, uh, if i actually have the opportunity to go and do this for real. >> well, i'm certainly not at that stage where i can do something like

aneurysm, and it either expands on its own to strengthen the artery wall, or it is expanded with an angioplastyt procedures are minimally invasive and do not have the risks or complications of major surgery. patients heal faster and spend less time in the hospital. average is between two to three days in the hospital. even after the minimally invasive procedure, patients need to monitor the size of the aneurysm and make some lifestyle modifications to stay healthy. >> i continued being taken care of every six months or so. every year, they would take ultrasounds and to see how the triple "a" was growing. and i took all the care that they asked me to take care, like i used to have high blood pressure, and i also was starting to have diabetes, so i had to control my diet, control my blood pressure. and i started doing exercise and walk as much as i could to maintain my weight. >> mcfarland: unfortunately for mary ann, the size of her aneurysm limited her options. >> i was not a candidate for the stent because of the abnormal shape of my aneurysm. i was hoping i would have a nice little scar, but
