The aim of the study is to provide data on the application of simulation-based training in MIMVS using an air-pilot training concept.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The 2-day EACTS endoscopic mitral training course design was based on backwards chaining, pre- and post-assessment, performance feedback, hands-on training on MIMVS, theoretical content and follow-up. One hundred two participants who completed the full programme throughout 2016\u20132018 in the EACTS endoscopic mitral training courses were enrolled in the current study.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of the 102 participants, 83 (83.3%) participants were staff\/attending surgeons, 12 (11.8%) participants had finished residency and 5 (4.9%) participants were residents. Theoretical pre- and post-assessment showed that participants scored significantly higher on post-assessment (median score 58% vs 67%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Pre- and post-assessment of skills on MIMVS showed that participants could work with long-shafted instruments more accurately (suture accuracy 43% vs 99%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) and faster (87 vs 42\u2009s, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Follow-up, based on course evaluation and a survey, had a response rate of 55% (57 participants). Of all surveyed participants, 33.3% (n\u2009=\u200919) had started an endoscopic mitral programme successfully, while 66.7% (n\u2009=\u200938) did not yet start.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The MIMVS is a valuable tool for the development and assessment of endoscopic mitral repair skills.
