    Fluoroscopic presentation of guide wire and catheter position in a case of contralateral iliac-artery stenting by the VIST simulator. Position of the C-arm visualized at utmost right. Images at top: anterior–posterior (AP) view. Images at bottom: 20° right anterior oblique (RAO) view. Images at left: cannulation of the left internal iliac artery (IIA). Images at right: cannulation of the left external iliac artery (EIA). Notice on the top images the small difference in the presentation of guide wire position between the IIA and the EIA due to superimposition. Appropriate angling of the C-arm clearly separates the position of the IIA and the EIA (images at bottom).
