Training in cardiovascular interventional surgery (CIS) has been mainly performed under fluoroscopic guidance in animals. However, this has drawbacks due to the anatomical differences between animal models and the human body.
In this study, the researchers present a virtual training platform for cardiovascular interventional surgery (CIS) that creates a realistic simulated environment for training basic techniques.
The platform consists of a mechanical manipulation unit, a simulation platform, and a user interface. A decoupled haptic device provides dynamic behaviour and high-quality force feedback. In addition, an efficient physics-based hybrid model is used, which can realistically and interactively simulate the complex behaviour of guidewires and catheters. Three simulation studies show that the platform has reasonable accuracy and robustness. This platform enables realistic simulation of vascular surgery technique testing such as guidewire and catheter simulation and stent placement, as well as rendering techniques.
