New Features and improvements

• Improved realism: New physics model delivering more realistic device behavior
• Added complications in stroke cases: Stenosis. Clot stuck at tip of aspiration catheter, Clot stuck inside of aspiration catheter, Several clots in one case, Distal migration of clot, Spasm
• Added complications in coiling cases: Perforation, Dissection, Spasm, Thrombus
• Reworked behavior for smoother clot visuals during aspiration
• “Quick access” added to Carotid cases to skip manual aortic access and to train directly on the area of the intervention
• New functionality for both BRT and SACT Assisted coiling cases for non-bifurcated devices

‍

New and updated cases

• 4 new Flow diversion cases with more complex and challenging aneurysms to allow for more advanced training
• Added full guidance for one AIS case, to learn the basic steps and to allow for unproctored training
• 2 new larger and more complex AVMs to allow for more advanced training, handling multiple feeders and reflux
• Updated and refined anatomies, including adding ophthalmic arteries where previously missing, to improve the fidelity of the challenges presented during cerebral navigation

‍

New features and improvements

• Ready for case rehearsal of flow diversion cases planned using Ankyras validated planning platform
• A completely new and more realistic model for flow diverters enabling flow diversion in more complex and challenging anatomies, improving thefidelity of the training
• Foreshortening based on Ankyras’ validated algorithm to align training with planning and to better understand the complexity of flow diverters
• Increased visibility of embolic agent for increased realism and better training
• Updated portfolio of intracranial stents to better represent the real devices used
• New look and feel to improve usability
• Automatic calibration for measurements and possibility to zoom when roadmaps are used to better align with the features found in the angio suite
• Switched position of frontal and lateral planes to align with the most common setup in the angio suite
• High-resolution forces on latest generation of G7 for improved realism and for the operator to better appreciate and understand the nuances of the friction forces during neuro intervention
• Ready for automatic updates to speed-up and facilitate more frequent updates of the solution, to always be updated with the latest version
• Onlinebug and feedback reporting available

Changes:

• Fix of a bug related to post-dilation of self-expandable stents
• Adding metrics recording whether manual or quick access has been used
• Fix of a bug related to the pop-up windows when exchanging the 0.014'' wire by the EPD filter in the Carotid cases
• Improvement of device behavior in steep take-offs and tortuosities
• Improvement of contrast injection configuration
• Message informing “The clot is free” has being disabled if the clot has already been removed

Updates:

• AVM:
  • Glue attenuation improved for a more realistic looking in fluoro
  • Warning for “too low injection pressure”
  • Glue injection only available for 0.010’’ microcatheters
• Warning activated for “Coil detached inside catheter”
• Warning for “Stent deployed inside catheter” is removed from flow diverters and stentrievers, since the warning isn’t needed for those devices
• Warning for “Distal angiogram needed” is removed in AIS before the stentriever selection
• “Detach” button is inactive after it is being clicked once, to make it clear for the user that the detachment has already been done
• The anatomy in two cases is updated to eliminate a couple of artifacts in the heart
• EPD filter added in all the procedural messages where it was missing in the previous version of the software
• Fixed an issue with stentrievers and other self-expanding stents that rotates when partly deployed
