Vascular Interventional Simulator
Procedicus VISTTM, Vascular Intervention System Trainer, reproduces the physics and physiology of the human cardiovascular system such that a person can learn to perform various procedures such as cardiac catheterisation. The simulator is a generalized solution to endovascular simulation. The initial content scenarios focus on coronary, carotid, renal intervention and stenting as well as pacemaker lead placement. This simulation is combined with a haptic interface to give the user a natural, correct way to interact with the simulation. In addition there is an instructional system coupled to the simulation that provides a framework for learning from the simulation.
