Popis: Objectives Transcatheter procedures are increasingly being recognized as a priority for cardiac surgeons and cardiac surgery trainees. The optimal method of teaching these procedures during residency training has not been established. We used an evidence-based approach to systematically review the literature and identify competencies to inform future paradigms of transcatheter training in cardiac surgery. Methods A scoping review was conducted to retrieve relevant literature on the performance of transcatheter cardiovascular procedures, identify competencies required by surgical residents learning to perform these procedures, and develop a preliminary list of competencies for consideration during transcatheter training. MEDLINE, Scopus, and ERIC were queried until April 1, 2020, using a systematic search strategy. No limitations were placed on publication date or type. Results A total of 1456 sources of evidence were retrieved. After deduplication and screening, there remained 33 that were included in the scoping review, published between 2006 and 2020. The distribution of publication types included 10 comparative studies (30.3% of total), 8 societal statements (24.2% of total), 5 surveys and 5 opinion articles (each 15.2% of total), 2 editorials and 2 descriptions of a simulator (each 6.1% of total), and 1 narrative review (3.0% of total). From these, a total of 400 items were identified and organized into 97 competencies. Conclusions Evidence on the competencies required to perform transcatheter cardiovascular procedures is available from a variety of sources. The identified competencies may be a useful resource for developing curricula and teaching transcatheter procedures to cardiac surgery residents.
