About the solution

NV Connect training cases are designed to learn skills essential to cerebral interventional procedures. The module facilitates technical, procedural, and cognitive training and discussions in a risk-free environment for these delicate procedures.
‍

The training cases offer the opportunity to train on a range of neuro-interventional procedures, from the carotid artery and intracranial stenting to thrombectomy and aneurysm treatments (using flow diversion and coiling).

All cases provide all trainees, from beginners to advanced operators, with a risk-free opportunity to perfect both basic navigation skills and procedure-related specific skills and prepare well for the real intervention. NV Connect also allows trainers to set specific training targets, depending on the audience, by setting up benchmarks for each case or using the predefined benchmarks that come with the cases.
‍

The AVM cases teach specific skills for AVM treatment, focusing on the basic steps of locating the main feeders, navigating to the nidus, and embolizing the AVM, including the detection and handling of potential reflux.

Benefits & features

Hand holding an endovascular simulation device

Flexible training for real
procedural workflows

Train with real clinical devices across a flexible, compact simulation setup designed for structured procedural practice.

Benefits

Realistic scenario with chronic subdural hematoma
Learn the procedural steps for supra-aortic access and cerebral angiography
Acquire pertinent technical and manipulation skills
Learn how to safely access and navigate the external carotid vasculature​
Possible to use different embolization techniques and materials​
Embolizing the MMA branches, handling reflux and assessing the result
Features & functionalities
  • Actual clinical devices can be used to provide a realistic experience.
  • Quick access – starting with sheath already placed in carotid - available
  • Distal access catheters can be used for facilitating distal navigation
  • Advanced imaging using roadmaps and biplane
  • 3DRA functionality for aneurysm measurements and sizing
  • Detailed metrics for assessment and debriefing

Training objectives
  • Identify MMA origin from ECA, ophthalmic artery from ICA, and all dangerous collaterals​
  • Access MMA past the foramen spinosum and beyond any dangerous anastomoses confirmed on selective angiography​
  • Embolize anterior frontal and posterior parietal branches using appropriate embolic agent ​
  • Perform final ECA and anterior circulation angiogram to confirm successful embolization and exclude thromboembolic complications​
