About the solution

No two cerebral aneurysms are the same. Neck morphology, vessel tortuosity, access challenges, branch involvement, and device strategy all change from patient to patient. Yet most simulation-based preparation still depends on standard case libraries. That leaves a gap where preparation matters most: the unique anatomy your team is about to treat.
‍

Vascular Twin® Neuro helps close that gap.
‍
By converting real patient DICOM data into hands-on simulation cases on the Mentice VIST® virtual reality platform, Vascular Twin® Neuro enables interventional neuroradiologists and neurovascular teams to rehearse patient-specific cerebral aneurysm anatomy before entering the angio suite.

Teams can explore the actual anatomy, evaluate access challenges, build familiarity with procedural strategy, and prepare for complex cases with greater confidence and control.

For hospitals and training programs, Vascular Twin Neuro expands case exposure, supports junior physician development, and strengthens preparation for challenging aneurysm procedures. For medical device and industry teams, it enables more relevant, anatomy-based education that connects training more closely to real clinical practice.

Vascular Twin Neuro gives neurovascular teams a new way to prepare: not for a generic case, but for the patient in front of them.

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

Features & functionalities

Train on real patient anatomy
Create simulation cases from real patient anatomies to make rehearsal and preparation more relevant to the anatomical variation, access challenges, and treatment strategies encountered in practice.

Build experience beyond case volume
Import and share cases from multiple institutions to expand your team’s exposure to rare anatomies and less frequently encountered case types.
‍

Rehearse in a patient-free environment
Give junior physicians and trainees the opportunity to rehearse, refine technique, and build readiness in a patient-free environment.
‍

Prepare with confidence for complex procedures
Improve familiarity, reduce uncertainty, and strengthen team readiness for complex procedures and complication scenarios before entering the angio suite.

‍Deliver more relevant physician training
Build sessions around patient anatomy to create training that is better aligned with case complexity, procedural variation, and real clinical practice.

Training objectives
  • Build familiarity with the anatomical challenges of the imported case, including vessel tortuosity, access considerations, and aneurysm morphology.  
  • Rehearse flow diverter deployment and coil embolization techniques in a hands-on, patient-free simulation environment.
