In recent years, there has been significant progress in the diagnosis and treatment of various cerebrovascular diseases using minimally invasive neurointerventional surgery, gradually gaining recognition. However, in the actual clinical setting, there is a lack of teaching models to assist beginners in familiarizing themselves with neurointerventional minimally invasive surgery.
Our team has utilized 3D printing and a three-dimensional vascular database to create whole-body vascular simulators with varying levels of complexity that can be operated under a vascular angiography machine, serving as a training platform for neurointerventional minimally invasive surgery. Furthermore, to reduce radiation exposure during the training process, we have developed real-time infrared guidance imaging to provide a radiation-free vascular simulator operation platform. Compared to traditional mentorship-based oral training and the slow accumulation of clinical case experience, this system offers an efficient training platform. When combined with actual clinical cases, it can be used for surgical planning simulations and preoperative rehearsals, particularly for complex cases.
